Abstract

An inside-outside pincushion correction circuit includes an arrangement of first and second branches that provide a pair of current paths to a deflection current that flows in a deflection winding. The first branch includes a modulation inductance and the second branch includes a modulation capacitance that is coupled across the modulation inductance by a switch at a controllable time during the retrace interval. The controllable time varies in a vertical rate parabolic manner to provide deflection current modulation to correct inside and outside pincushion distortions. Variation of the retrace interval associated with the modulation inductance are compensated by offsetting variations produced by the retrace capacitance.
