Abstract
Abstract A display and power supply system in which the power assembly uses a switching frequency which is higher than the highest linear deflection rate used in a cathode ray tube display device supplied by the power supply and in which the frequency of the power supply and the information repetitively displayed on the display are synchronized to eliminate interference of the power supply frequency with the display characteristics.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
In combination: rectifier means for receiving line voltage; switching regulator means for converting said line voltage into a chopped dc voltage; first control means for synchronizing the output of said switching regulator with an external system; a power transformer for conversion of said controlled output of said switching regulator into a plurality of high voltage and low voltage outputs; and second control means including a pulse width modulator for sensing the outputs of said power transformer and modifying the pulse width of said switching regulator in accordance with with said sensed output, the switching frequency of said regulator being independent of an output of said transformer to permit the synchronization of said switching frequency with said external system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
