Abstract
The primary winding 65a of a ferroresonant transformer 65 is driven from power source 35, which comprises line frequency triggered oscillator 45 and squaring limiter 37, 38. The secondary windings 65b, 65c of the transformer are wound around saturable core portion 165b, and resonance at line frequency is achieved by self capacitance 665 or a discrete capacitor 91. The secondary resonant currents saturate the core during each half cycle, and the induced voltages in both secondaries are consequently regulated. One voltage is arranged to be the EHT voltage U, and the other, the sweep voltage V. The invention avoids the need for separate B<+> and EHT regulators, or a series stabiliser resistor or sensing beam current changes. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Ferroresonant power supply
This invention relates to a high frequency ferroresonant power supply for a deflection and high voltage circuit.
In deflection and high voltage power supplies for television receivers, the B+ supply voltage for the deflection circuitry and the high voltage ultor accelerating potential typically are derived in two different manners. The B+ voltage is derived from the AC line mains which is rectified and filtered; whereas the ultor accelerating potential is derived from rectified flyback pulses obtained from a horizontal output or flyback transformer. With such an arrangement, two relatively independent and costly power supplies must be used.
To regulate the high voltage, eitherthe high voltage itself is regulated directly or the B+ voltage is regulated typically through relatively complex electronic series switching, or shunt regulators.
Such circuits are relatively costly and subject to failures which require additional protective circuitry to disable the television receiver under abnormal increases in high voltage.
Many television receivers include circuitry to maintain a constant raster width with varying ultor beam current. This can be accomplished by altering the B+ raster voltage so that it tracks the changing ulto voltage in such a way that the raster width and thus the picture size remains constant with changing ultor voltage. Typically, the B+ voltage change is accomplished by inclusion of a series resistor conductively coupled to the flyback transformer primary winding or by use of additional B+ regulator control circuitry which senses beam current variations and correspondingly changes the B+ voltage. In the former approach, power may be unnecessarily dissi
pated in the series resistor, while in the latter
approach additional circuit complexity and cost may
be incurred.
Some B+ regulators employ a 60 Hz AC line mains
regulating transformer, such as a 60Hz ferroresonant transformer, to provide a regulated B+ voltage.
Because operation is at the low frequency of 60Hz, a
relatively large and heavy transformer must be used.
Furthermore, the high voltage is then independently
supplied by means of a relatively large flyback transformer designed to accommodate relatively
large power flows.
Other television receiver regulator circuits, discus
sed in the prior art, regulate the high voltage by
providing a flyback transformer which itself is oper
ated in the ferroresonant mode. Flyback pulses are
coupled to the flyback primary winding. The ultor
high voltage winding is then tuned to the desired
frequency. Because the B+ supply is derived from a
separate source such as the AC line mains supply, a
separate regulator circuit must be provided if the B+
voltage is also to be regulated. If the B+ voltage is
unregulated, other circuitry may be required to
maintain a constant raster width.
In many typical flyback derived high voltage
circuits, the high voltage provides a peak voltage substantially less than the required ultor potential in order to reduce the number of turns required of the high voltage winding. A high voltage multiplier then steps up the voltage to the required level. Since the design of many voltage multipliers requires that both polarities of the AC voltage be used, it is desirable for the multiplier to be driven by an AC voltage with the magnitudes of the positive and negative polarity portions close to being equal. If one polarity is much smaller than the other, the capacitors and diodes active during this polarity contribute very little voltage. This is the situation when using the flyback pulse as a source for a voltage multiplier circuit.A sextupler multiplier using six diodes and six capacitors is required to obtain a three times multiplication when a low duty cycle flyback pulse is applied to a voltage multiplier.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a ferroresonant power supply for a deflection and high voltage circuit in a television receiver comprises a source of alternating current voltage. a ferroresonant transformer has a magnetic core, a first winding coupled to the source of alternating current voltage, and a high voltage winding wound around a core portion of the magnetic core and coupled to a high voltage terminal for developing a high voltage. A second winding is wound around the core portion of the magnetic core and is coupled to a scan supply voltage terminal for developing a scan supply voltage. Means provides sufficient capacitance to at least one winding of the ferroresonant transformer for generating circulating currents for saturating the core portions under the high voltage and second windings during each cycle of the alternating current voltage.This provides a regulated high voltage and regulated scan supply voltage. A deflection switch is coupled to a deflection winding for generating trace and retrace intervals each deflection cycle. A source of trace voltage is coupled to the deflection winding for developing scanning current in the deflection winding. First means couples the regulated scan supply voltage to the source of trace voltage. An ultorterminal provides an ultor accelerating potential. High voltage means is coupled to the high voltage terminal and to the ultor terminal for developing the ultor accelerating potential from the regulated high voltage.

circuit of Figure 1.
In Figure 1, AC line mains voltage of illustratively
120 VAC, 60Hz, is coupled to terminals 21 and 22 and then to input terminals 23 and 24 of a full-wave bridge rectifier 25. A current limiting resistor 30 is coupled between terminals 21 and 23. A DC voltage of illustratively +l50VDC is developed at a terminal 26 and is filtered by a capacitor 27 coupled across terminal 26 and a terminal 28 which is the common ground current return terminal not isolated from the
AC line mains supply. A resistor 29 is coupled to the + 150 volt supply terminal 26. A low DC voltage supply of illustratively +20DVC is developed at the cathode (terminal 32) of a zener diode 33 that is coupled to resistor 29.
A high frequency square-wave power oscillator 35 comprises a sinewave oscillator 36, a push-pull squaring stage 37 and a power output stage 38.
Sinewave oscillator 36 is self-oscillating and comprises a transistor 39 with a collector electrode coupled to a resonant LC tank circuit 45 comprising a capacitor 40 and a winding 41 a of a coupling transformer 41. Collector voltage for transistor 39 is obtained from the +20 volt supply that is coupled to a tap terminal 48 of winding 41 a through a resistor 42. A bypass capacitor 43 is coupled to tap terminal 48. Resistor 42 reduces the 20V to 1 7V and capacitor 43 aids in removing the ripple from the rectified 60Hz input voltage. AC feedback for maintaining oscillator 36 in a self-oscillating mode is provided by a capacitor 44 coupled between tank circuit 45 and the base electrode of transistor 39. DC bias for the base electrode is provided by voltage dividing resistors 46 and 47 coupled to resistor 42.
Oscillator 36 developes a high frequency sinusoidal voltage in winding 41 a. The resonant frequency of tank circuit 45 is selected, for example, to be close to the horizontal deflection frequency,1iTH, of approximately 15.75 kilohertz. Horizontal retrace pulses 67 obtained from a utility horizontal flyback transformer 68 is coupled to a synchronizing input terminal 69 of oscillator 36. Retrace pulses 67 are AC coupled from terminal 69 to the emitter of transistor 39 through a capacitor 70 and a resistor 71 of voltage dividing resistors 71 and 72. Retrace pulses 67 synchronize the frequency of oscillator 36 to the horizontal deflection frequency by turning off transistor 39 within the horizontal retrace interval.
The high frequency sinusoidal voltage in winding 41 a of oscillator 36 is coupled by means of a winding 41 b of transformer 41 to the bases of push-pull transistors 49 and 50 respectively through resitors 51 and 52. A center tap of winding 41b is grounded.
Squaring stage 37 converts the sinusoidal voltage developed by oscillator 36 into a square-wave voltage of the same frequency. The square-wave voltage is more suitable than a sinewave for driving power output stage 38.
The high frequency square-wave voltage developed by squaring stage 37 is coupled from a winding 53a of a coupling transformer 53 to the bases of push-pull power output transistors 54 and 55 through a winding 53b of transformer 53 and through respective resistors 56 and 57. A resistor 58 and a capacitor 59 coupled in parallel are coupled between a center tap of winding 53b and the common junction point of the emitters of transistors 54 and 55. Resistor 58 and capacitor 59 function to provide a negative bias voltage at the bases of the power output transistors.
A diode 60 is coupled across the collector-emitter electrodes of transistor 54, with the cathode of diode 60 coupled to the collector of transistor 54. Similarly a diode 61 is coupled across the collector-emitter electrodes of transistor 55 with the cathode of diode 61 coupled to the collector of transistor 55. Diodes 60 and 61 function to limit the peak voltage of undesirable voltage spikes which mightdamage the transistors.
Power output stage 38 provides a high frequency alternating square wave voltage 64 at its output terminals 62 and 63, the collector electrodes respectively of transistors 54 and 55. Voltage 64 functions as a source of unregulated energy or as an excitation voltage for a high frequency ferroresonant transformer 65. An input or primary winding 65a is coupled across output terminals 62 and 63 of power output stage 38. The supply voltage for power output stage 38 is obtained from the unregulated +150 volts DC at terminal 26 which is coupled to a center tap terminal 66 of primary winding 65a.
High frequency ferroresonant transformer 65 comprises primary winding 65a, a low voltage secondary winding 65b, a high voltage secondary winding 65c, and a magnetic core 165. As illustrated in Figure 2, magnetic core 165 comprises two core portion 1 65a and 165b. Core portion 165a is formed as a C-shaped member. Core portion 1 65b is formed as a relatively thin rectangular slab of magnetic material with a relatively large surface area to volume ratio.
As illustrated in Figure 2, primary winding 65a is wound around the center section of C-shaped core portion 1 65a. Low voltage secondary winding 65b is wound around slab core portion 165b. High voltage winding 65c is concentrically wound around low voltage winding 65b. Each of the secondary windings 65b and 65c may be layer wound around cylindrical coil forms 265b and 265c respectively.
Other suitable winding arrangements may be substituted, as, for example, high voltage winding 65c being layer wound directly over low voltage winding 65b. Segmented pi windings for low and high voltage windings may also be used. Alternatively, as illustrated in Figure 4, core 165 may be a rectangular core formed of 2 C-shaped cores 765 and 865 butted together along their legs with the legs 765a and 865a of the two C-shaped cores being of reduced crosssectional area. Low voltage winding 65b and high voltage winding 65c, not illustrated in Figure 4, are then concentrically wound around legs 765a and 865a as in Figure 2, with input or primary winding 65a being wound around the opposite leg as shown in Figure 2.
As illustrated in Figure 1, a conductor of low voltage secondary winding 65b is coupled to a terminal 101 and another conductor is coupled to a ground current return reference terminal 102 that is conductively isolated from the AC line mains supply.
This terminal may be at earth ground potential. Low voltage secondary winding 65b is coupled to a scan supply voltage terminal 301 through a half-wave rectifier 401. The high frequency alternating current voltage developed by low voltage winding 65b across terminals 101 and 102 is half-wave rectified by rectifier 401 and filtered by a capacitor 501. A B+ scan supply voltage of illustratively +120 volts DC is produced at scan supply voltage terminal 301.
Other tap conductors of low voltage secondary winding 65b are brought out from the winding and are coupled to respective rectifiers 403-405 to provide low DC voltages of +30 volts, +72 volts and +210 volts at respective terminals 303-305. Filter capacitors 503-505 are respectively coupled to the cathodes of diodes 403-405.
A horizontal deflection circuit 73 comprises a conventional horizontal oscillator and driver circuit 74, a deflection trace switch 76 comprising a damper diode 77 and a horizontal output transistor 78, a horizontal retrace capacitor 79, and a series coupled arrangement of a horizontal deflection winding 80 and a trace capacitor 81. The voltage Vt across trace capacitor 81 functions as a source of trace voltage for horizontal deflection winding 80. During each horizontal trace interval, trace switch 76 is conducting and couples the trace voltage Vt across horizontal deflection winding 80, thereby developing the required horizontal sawtooth scanning current in the deflection winding.
To obtain the trace voltage Vt, trace capacitor 81 is coupled to the B+ scan supply voltage terminal 301 through the primary winding 68a of utilityflyback transformer 68. Thus the average or DC value of trace voltage Vt substantially equals the B+ scan supply voltage of +120 volts DC.
During the horizontal retrace interval, with trace switch 76 cut off, horizontal deflection winding 80 and horizontal retrace capacitor 79 resonate for one-half cycle of oscillation. The horizontal retrace pulses developed in primary winding 68a of utility flyback transformer 68 are transformer coupled to flyback secondary windings 68b and 68c. Terminals 82 and 83 of secondary winding 68b couple utility retrace pulses to such circuitry as the blanking and horizontal sync circuits. Secondary winding 68c functions as the source of retrace pulses 67 used to synchronize oscillator 36 of the high frequency square-wave power oscillator 35.
In many conventional television receiver power supply circuits, the ultor accelerating potential is derived from rectified retrace pulses. In the circuit of
Figure 1, however, it is the high frequency alternating current high voltage developed across high voltage secondary winding 65c that generates the ultor voltage. This alternating current high voltage developed across terminals 106 and 107 is rectified and multiplied by a voltage multiplier circuit 84 comprising three diodes 85-87 and three capacitors 88-90. The cathode of diode 87 is coupled to an ultor terminal U, at which terminal an ultor accelerating potential of illustratively +27 kilovolts DC is developed. An intermediate DC high voltage developed at the cathode of diode 85 may serve as a focus voltage for the focus electrode of a television receiver cathode ray tube.
With ferroresonant transformer 65 providing both a high voltage in high voltage secondary winding 65c and a low voltage in secondary winding 65b, both the ultor accelerating potential and the B+ scan supply voltages are regulated without the necessity of relatively complex and failure-prone electronic regulator circuitry. To regulate the voltages across secondary windings 65b and 65c, a resonating capacitor 91 may be coupled to low voltage secon darywinding 65b at terminal 101, as illustrated in
Figure 1,orto anotherwindingwound around thin slab core portion 1 65b. The value of capacitor 91 is selected such that capacitor 91 and low voltage secondary winding 65b resonate near the frequency of the excitation source, that is, near the 15.75 kHz frequency of the high frequency alternating current voltage 64.Under certain circumstances, as described below, capacitor 91 may be omitted to reduce cost. If sufficient winding capacitance exists in the high voltage secondary winding, an additional capacitor will be unnecessary.
the circulating resonant current flowing in winding 65b and capacitor 91 aids in magnetically saturating the core under both low voltage winding 65b and high voltage winding 65c during each half-cycle of the circulating current oscillation. By so saturating the core, the induced voltage in both secondary windings 65b and 65c are thereby regulated.
As illustrated in Figure 5a, the voltage V65a which appears across primary winding 65a of the high frequency ferroresonant transformer 65 is a symmetrical square wave voltage of frequency 15.75 kHz with a period of TH = 63.5 microsecond. The high voltage across secondary winding 65c is also a relatively symmetrical square wave voltage Vs5e as illustrated in Figure 5b. The square-wave developed by low voltage winding 65b across terminals 101 and 102 is illustrated in Figure 5c, with the flat topped portion occurring during conduction of rectifier 401.
The input current i65a to primary winding 65a (from terminal 26) is illustrated in Figure 5d and is a relatively constant current except near the switching instants of transistors 54 and 55, near the leading and trailing edges of waveform V65a of Figure 5a.
The resonant or circulating current flowing in capacitor 91 and low voltage secondary winding 65b between terminals 101 and 102, illustrated in Figure 5e, aids in magnetically saturating the core portion 165b under both high voltage secondary winding 65c and low voltage secondary winding 65b. Saturation will occur near the peak portions 94 and 95 of the circulating current waveform i,.
To provide for saturation of core portion 165b while the core portion 165a under primary winding 65a remains unsaturated, the cross-sectional area of slab 165b of Figure 2 is made smaller than the cross-sectional area of C-shaped core 165a. As illustrated in Figure 3 by the sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 2, the cross-sectional area a=(t)(w),the product of the thickness t and widthwofslab 165b, is relatively much smallerthan the cross-sectional area A=wf, the product of the sides wand f of C-shaped core 1 6spa. For the value listed below, the ratio a/A equals approximately 0.19.
It may be desirable to limit the temperature increase in the saturating core portion 165b under low voltage secondary winding 65b and high voltage secondary winding 65c after energization of the circuit of Figure 1. The saturation flux density Bsat of the core material decreases with increasing temper ature. Because, in a ferroresonant transformer, the voltages developed across secondary windings 65b and 65c is a function of Bsat, it may be desirable to limit the temperature rise by providing a secondary winding and core structure with increased cooling capability. This temperature rise may occur due to increased core losses at high frequency operation and due to relatively large 12R losses from such factors as the relatively large high frequency saturating circulating current.
As illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 core portion 165b comprises a thin slab of thickness t, width w, and length 1. With typical values listed below, the ratio of surface area to volume of slab 165b is relatively large, 40 to 1, for example, thereby permitting increased cooling of the thin slab.
Furthermore, the inner diameter D of cylindrical coil form 265b is also larger than the thickness t of slab 165b, thereby permitting windings 65b and 65c to be looseiy wound around slab core portion 165b with a relatively large air space between the windings and the core. Convective cooling of the core is thereby enhanced. Such a core configuration is described in U.S. patent application, Serial No. 007, 814, filed 30January1979, entitled HIGH FREQUEN
CY FERRORESONANTTRANSFORMER, by F.S.
Wendt.
If the increase in core temperature is of relatively little concern, a conventional core geometry for core portion 165b may be used, such as a square or circular cross-section core with the windings 65b and 65c more tightly wound around the core.
As illustrated in Figure 5b, the high voltage V65e across high voltage winding 65c is a relatively symmetrical square wave with the magnitude of positive portion 92 approximately equal to the magnitude of negative portion 93. With a peak-topeak voltage swing of 18 kilovolts for V65c, for example, only three rectifiers and two or three capacitors are required in high voltage multiplier circuit 84 of Figure 1 to obtain an ultor voltage of +27 kilovolts, for example. Diodes 85 and 87 rectify the positive portions of Vest, whereas diode 86 rectifies the negative portion. Thus, the ultorvoltage equals approximately twice the positive magnitude of V65C added to the negative magnitude.Capacitor 90 may be omitted if the conductive coatings on the kinescope provide sufficient filtering capacitance. Conventional high voltage supplies which rectify positive retrace pulses of the same magnitude as that of positive portion 92 of Figure 5b may require five or six diodes and associated capacitors in the multiplier arrangement to obtain the same ultor voltage.
The described high frequency ferroresonant transformer system embodying the invention provides a regulated B+ scan supply voltage and thus a regulated trace voltage Vt, and also provides a regulated high voltage. With such an arrangement, the design criteria for horizontal deflection circuit 73 may be considerably relaxed. For example, with flybacktransformer 68 no longer required to transfer load energy to the ultor, the flyback transformer may be considerably reduced in size, as relatively little load current flows in the flyback transformer. With little DC current flowing through horizontal output transistor 78, its size, current and voltage ratings and heat sinking requirements are reduced.With suitable circuit redesign, a low impedance deflection winding 80 may be used, which would then require a much lower voltage peak of 200V, illustratively, instead of the relatively large horizontal retrace pulse of 1,000V typically being developed.
With the high frequency ferroresonant transformer 65 supplying both the B+ scan supply voltage and the ultor high voltage, relatively good picture width stability may be obtained without the use of electronic control circuitry or discrete series resistances. As beam loading oftheultorterminal U increases, the ultor accelerating potential decreases.
The increased DC portion of the load current flowing in high voltage winding 65e acts to magnetize somewhat core portion 165b and to shift the operating point of that core portion away from greater saturation slightly towards the knee of the transformer B-H hysteresis loop, thereby decreasing the high voltage somewhat. However, with low voltage winding 65b and high voltage winding 65c sharing a common saturating core portion, increased load current flowing in winding 65c will also decrease the
B+ scan voltage, thereby providing substantial raster width regulation.
Alternatively explained, the existing leakage inductances in the transformer 65 provide an increased voltage drop with increased video beam loading causing both the high voltage and the B+ voltage to decrease. The leakage inductance between the high and low voltage secondary windings 65b and 65c, and the degree and location of core saturation are adjusted for providing raster width regulation.
A relatively large number of winding turns is required to develop the relatively high voltage across high voltage secondary winding 65c. By proper choice of such factors as winding configuration, layer separation and conductor wire size, the interwinding stray or distributed capacitance may be sufficiently large to enable the high voltage winding 65c to resonate so as to saturate core portion 165b, and thus regulate the voltages in both the high and low voltage secondary windings. Such distributed resonating capacitance is illustrated in Figure 1 by a capacitor 665 coupled across high voltage winding 65c, although in actuality the total capacitance is distributed along the winding turns.
With the distributed capacitance 665 and high voltage winding 65c providing the circulating current for saturating core portion 165b, capacitor 91 is no longer required. Aging or failure of discrete components that may cause an increase of the high voltage is eliminated. Furthermore, using a ferroresonant transformer to provide the high voltage provides intrinsic high voltage protection capability, as changes in a winding inductance or in the capacitance value of a resonant capacitance will typically result in a loss of ferroresonant operation and a decrease of the winding voltage.
With ferroresonant transformer 65 providing both the high voltage and the B+ SCAN SUPPLY VOL
TAGE, A RELATIVELY LARGE RISE IN CORE TEM
PERATURE AFTER INITIAL CIRCUIT ENERGIZATION may be tolerated without substantially affecting raster width. Because the high voltage secondary winding 65c and low voltage winding 65b are wound around a common core portion 165b, a decrease in
Brat with an increase in core temperature decreases both the ultor and the B+ voltages, thereby providing a substantial degree of raster width regulation.
