Abstract
The arrangement and the respective display unit comprise a microprocessor, a demagnetization circuit and a switched mode power supply operating in a normal mode and in a low power mode. The microprocessor is coupled via the same output to the switched mode power supply for controlling the low power mode and to the demagnetization circuit for controlling a demagnetization operation. In a preferred embodiment, the control signal from the microprocessor provides a control for a low power burst mode, and is further combined with a power on-indicative signal via a logical AND combination for controlling the demagnetization circuit.

Arrangement comprising
- a microprocessor,
- a demagnetization circuit,
- a logical AND combination, and
- a switched mode power supply having a normal mode and a low power mode, the microprocessor being coupled via a same output to the demagnetization circuit and to the switched mode power supply for controlling the low power mode and the demagnetization circuit by means of a control signal,
- wherein the control signal and an on-indicative signal only present in the normal mode are connected each to an input of said logical AND combination for coupling said control signal to the demagnetization circuit in dependency of the power on-indicative signal, and
- the control signal being in the low power mode a square wave signal for providing a burst mode.
