Regulated deflection circuit

A regulation deflection circuit, comprising:

• a source of unregulated energy;
• first and second capacitors serially coupled to said source for storing energy from said source;
• a flyback transformer, including a first winding serially coupled with said first capacitor;
• a deflection circuit, including a trace switch coupled to a second winding of said flyback transformer;
• a second transformer, including a first winding coupled to said first capacitor and a second winding coupled to said second capacitor for respectively forming first and second resonant circuits, said first and second windings of said second transformer loosely coupled to each other magnetically for providing a substantial leakage inductance for limiting the energy transfer between said first and second resonant circuits;
• first and second switches respectively coupled to said first and second resonant circuit for respectively producing first and second resonant oscillations in said first and second circuits for transferring energy between said first and second resonants circuits and said deflection circuit;
• and
• control means coupled to said first and second switches for controlling the conduction of said first and second switches, said control means responsive to an energy level of said deflection circuit for varying the conduction overlap of said first and second resonant oscillations.
