Abstract

Abstract Television receiver including a switched-mode power supply which is regulated and capable of functioning both in self-oscillating mode and under the control of a line frequency synchronization. During normal operation there is synchronization, and the line time base supplies most of the supply voltages to the circuits of the receiver. To change to the stand-by state the drive of the line transistor is stopped, which stops most of the circuits depending thereon. The switched-mode power supply continues to function but then in the self-oscillating mode, and supplies the stand-by device via a secondary winding of its storage inductor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 115 words
A television receiver provided with a stand-by device, comprising a switched-mode power supply with a storage inductor and a switching device for supplying first user circuits, a power stage for the line deflection, having a switching element and a line transformer which is supplied by the switched-mode power supply, second user circuits being supplied via secondary windings of the line transformer, the stand-by state being obtained by stopping the line deflection, characterized in that the stand-by device is also supplied by the switched-mode power supply, the latter including self-oscillating and regulating means to ensure that when the line deflection is stopped the switched-mode power supply continues to supply the same voltage to the stand-by device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 115 words
A television receiver provided with a stand-by device, comprising a switched-mode power supply with a storage inductor and a switching device for supplying first user circuits, a power stage for the line deflection, having a switching element and a line transformer which is supplied by the switched-mode power supply, second user circuits being supplied via secondary windings of the line transformer, the stand-by state being obtained by stopping the line deflection, characterized in that the stand-by device is also supplied by the switched-mode power supply, the latter including self-oscillating and regulating means to ensure that when the line deflection is stopped the switched-mode power supply continues to supply the same voltage to the stand-by device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the storage inductor is provided with at least one secondary winding for supplying the stand-by device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that a line oscillator is also supplied from a secondary winding of the storage inductor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 67 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the control of the switching device and the voltage regulation provided by the switched-mode power supply are together ensured by a comparator which drives a control circuit of the switching device in such manner as to trigger its conduction when said voltage is less than a reference value and to stop this conduction in the opposite case.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 50 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it includes means for ensuring that the switched-mode power supply changes from a self-oscillating mode in the stand-by state to a mode in which it is synchronized by the line deflection when it is no longer in the stand-by state.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a line deflection coil is connected to a secondary winding of the line transformer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 56 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it includes a capacitive delay device for delaying the increase of the voltage applied to the switching device, this delay device comprising a diode arrangement for rectifying a voltage, the voltage obtained being applied as a supply voltage to the control circuit of the switching device.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 29 words
A receiver as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the first user circuits comprise an audio power stage also supplied from a secondary winding of the storage inductor.
