Abstract

The invention relates to a power supply unit for data viewing devices, which, from a main alternating voltage produces at least one d.c. voltage for the operation of the data viewing device, where the power supply unit is in the form of a switching power supply unit and contains an oscillator which produces signals which determine the switching frequency of the switching power supply unit and where the data viewing device contains a pulse generator which, in order to produce an image on a screen, produces timing pulses of a given repetition frequency and a given duration. More particularly, the control stage for a switching power supply unit of a data viewing device having a display screen includes a free-running oscillator whose frequency is synchronized by timing pulses from a pulse generator. These pulses are of a predetermined repetition frequency and a given duration. The oscillator is preferably an astable multivibrator. The output signal of the oscillator is pulse modulated and fed to the base of a switching transistor in the power supply circuit. A separator stage such as an optical coupling element or transformer, is provided in the circuit between the pulse generator and …
