Abstract

The invention provides a circuit for centrally generating the horizontal and vertical sweep frequencies in a TV receiver. A central oscillator provides a frequency which is divided to obtain the horizontal frequency. A periodic counter with adjustable final counting value divides the central oscillator frequency to establish a vertical sweep signal. Phase comparators and gate circuits are used to gate the oscillator signal to the periodic counter to synchronize the vertical sweep with the transmitted vertical sync signal.
