Abstract
A flyback transformer is disclosed having a primary winding coupled to a horizontal deflection circuit for receiving input pulses and a secondary circuit for developing a high voltage and a lower voltage for supplying a cathode ray tube anode electrode and focus electrode, respectively. The transformer secondary circuit includes three windings and three diodes, the diodes and windings being arranged to relatively equally distribute voltage stresses therebetween.
Claims6
A high voltage transformer comprising:
- a primary winding;
- and
- a secondary circuit coupled to said primary winding for developing a high voltage in response to the energizing of said primary winding, said secondary circuit including first, second and third windings and first and second rectifying means;
- said first rectifying means being connected in a selected polarity between ground and a first end of said first winding;
- the opposite end of said first winding being connected to a first end of said second winding;
- said second rectifying means being connected in said selected polarity between the opposite end of said second winding and a first end of said third winding;
- and
- terminal means at the opposite end of said third winding at which said high voltage appears for supplying said high voltage to an external load.
In an apparatus including a cathode ray tube display wherein a horizontal deflection circuit supplies voltage pulses to a flyback transformer for developing a high voltage to supply to the anode of a cathode ray tube;
- said flyback transformer comprising, in combination:
- a primary winding coupled to said horizontal deflection circuit;
- a secondary circuit coupled to said primary winding for developing said high voltage, said secondary circuit comprising first, second and third windings and at least first and second diodes;
- said first diode being connected in a selected polarity between ground and a first end of said first winding;
- the opposite end of said first winding being connected to a first end of said second winding;
- said second diode being connected in said selected polarity between the opposite end of said second winding and a first end of said third winding;
- and
- terminal means at the opposite end of said third winding at which said high voltage appears for supplying said high voltage to said anode of said cathode ray tube.
