Abstract
Abstract To prevent feedback of inductive peaks in low-voltage supply circuits of solid-state television receivers, in which a lowvoltage supply circuit is energized during the retrace interval from the line deflection circuit, and in which the line deflection circuit includes controlled rectifiers, which controlled rectifiers might be triggered spuriously by such feedback peaks, an inhibiting circuit is connected to the rectifier circuit of the low-voltage supply, which is fed from an inductance, to suppress feedback through the inductance upon sudden drawing of current by the supply circuit; this inhibit circuit may be an inductance connected in series with the rectifier of the low-voltage supply, or an additional source of direct current which pre-charges the smoothing capacitor of the rectifier circuit; such low voltage d-c can be obtained, for example, from the filament transformer for the cathode ray tube, with a half-wave rectifier, the voltage being delivered to the low-voltage supply being less than that normally required by the low-voltage supply so that, when the low-voltage supply draws current, the half-wave rectifier will block and prevent power from being fed from the supply into the power transformer.
