Abstract: A signal overload circuit for use in e.g. a digital TV receiver includes a piecewise linear weighting circuit which weights samples of greater magnitude proportionately more heavily than samples of lesser magnitude. The weighted samples are applied to an accumulator, and the accumulated value over a field interval is compared to an overload reference value to generate an overload output signal which is combined with other gain factors for application as the common gain control signal to a common amplifier. The overload detector is coupled in a feedback loop around the common amplifier. In order not to defeat the function of the other gain factors, the overload detector is programmable and its sensitivity is made responsive to the other gain factors.

Abstract: In a digital video signal processing system including an image reproducing kinescope and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), excessive kinescope beam current are automatically limited in response to a control signal which varies a reference voltage for the DAC such that the peak-to-peak amplitude of analog video signals from the DAC is reduced. A version of the control signal is applied to the output of the DAC with a magnitude and polarity for substantially negating unwanted shifts of the video signal black level during the beam current limiting mode.

Abstract: A primary winding of a power transformer is coupled to a source of DC voltage. First and second controllable switches are coupled to the primary winding in a push-pull arrangement. A control circuit responsive to a deflection rate input signal that is synchronized with deflection circuit scanning applies a turn-off switching signal alternately to the two controllable switches during each deflection cycle. In response to the turnoff of each one of the two controllable switches, a turn-on switching signal is applied to the other switch to develop a deflection rate alternating polarity output voltage across an output winding of the power transformer. The output voltage is rectified and applied to a deflection generator to thereby energize the generator into developing scanning current in a deflection winding.

Abstract: A television system for developing a regulated B + scan supply voltage includes a deflection generator (40) with a deflection winding (41); a transformer (22) having a primary winding (22a) coupled to a source (21) of unregulated alternating input voltage for developing across secondary windings (22c, d) an alternating voltage that tends to vary with variations of the unregulated voltage; means (27, 28) responsive to the secondary winding alternating voltage for developing a B + scan supply voltage; and means (32, 39) for applying the B + scan supply voltage to the deflection generator (40) to develop scanning current in the deflection winding. A saturable core (137) with a load coil (37) wound on it is conductively coupled to and magnetically isolated from the transformer secondary windings (22c, d). The load coil (37) is responsive to, and provides regulation of, the transformer secondary winding alternating voltage for developing the regulated B + scan supply voltage.

Abstract: A color television receiver includes a network for automatically limiting excessive kinescope beam currents developed in response to video signal image information, and a white balance control network for automatically controlling the white level drive (gain) characteristics of the kinescope in response to a white drive reference signal applied to the video signal path during given measuring intervals. A control signal developed by the beam current limiter network, otherwise applied to the video signal path, is decoupled from the video signal path during the white level measuring intervals to prevent distortion of the white level control function.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the generation of digitally dithered digital signals which can have an apparent quantizing resolution unaffected by truncation of the least significant bit. The truncated digital signal is dithered in an ordered fashion by adding thereto a bit developed in response to one condition of the truncated bit and is not dithered in response to another condition thereof. The original digital signal can be reconstructed by combining successive samples of the truncated digital signals. One feature of the present invention provides a truncation of digital signals.
