Abstract

Apparatus is disclosed for generating a blanking voltage for electron guns in cathode ray tubes, as used, for example, in color television displays. Apparatus utilizes circuitry including a video voltage amplifier having a control input. A feedback loop, connected between the junction of the cathode and video voltage amplifier output at one terminal, and the control input at the other, modifies the blanking voltage in response to samples of the cathode current taken when the video signal is zero.
