Abstract

A simplified bootstrap deflection circuit includes a sawtooth capacitor with one end grounded. First and second serially connected resistors provide charging current to form a ramp voltage across the capacitor. The noninverting input of an amplifier is coupled to receive the ramp. The amplifier output is coupled to a deflection winding and current sensing resistor. A feedback path couples the current sensing resistor to the inverting input terminal. A resistor is coupled to the inverting input terminal and to a reference potential. A bootstrap capacitor couples sawtooth feedback voltage at the inverting input terminal to the junction of the first and second capacitors for producing a constant voltage across the second resistor for linearizing the ramp. The feedback path includes a series variable resistor which acts as a centering control.
