Abstract
Abstract A capacitor is coupled to a vertical deflection winding for forming a resonant circuit therewith during retrace. A switched mode vertical deflection amplifier generates trace current in the deflection winding. A feedback resistor samples the current in the deflection winding and provides a feedback voltage to the amplifier. In order to substantially diminish a ringing component of the trace current at the beginning of trace, a cancellation circuit provides the amplifier with a voltage which cancels the feedback voltage during at least the latter portion of retrace.
