Abstract

See full text

In a vertical sawtooth generator of a vertical deflection circuit, a first comparator generates an output signal when a retrace portion of a sawtooth signal is at a first magnitude to initiate a vertical trace portion of the sawtooth signal. An amplifier responsive to the sawtooth signal and to a reference signal generates a feedback current at a time that occurs between the center of vertical trace and the end of trace and away from the center of trace. The feedback current is determined in accordance with a difference between the sawtooth signal and the reference signal. The feedback current is coupled to a first capacitor to develop a gain control voltage. The control voltage is applied via a voltage-to-current converter to an integrating capacitor to develop in the integrating capacitor the trace portion of the sawtooth signal. The control voltage is initialized during a power start-up interval.
