Abstract

See full text

A circuit for protecting a cathode ray tube screen from damage by an electron beam includes a semiconductor switch device having an input coupled to a signal related to a deflection signal for the electron beam. The switch device is coupled to a voltage supply and the circuit further includes a charge storage device coupled to the switch device and further coupled to a control grid of the cathode ray tube. The charge storage device is charged through the switch device by the voltage supply when the deflection signal is present at a control input of the switch device. The switch device decouples the supply voltage from the charge storage device when the deflection signal is not present and places a negative blanking voltage developed on the charge storage device across the control grid when the deflection signal is not present to cut-off beam current in the cathode ray tube.
