Abstract

A parabolic voltage generating circuit includes an arrangement for generating a sawtooth vertical deflection current that flows in a vertical deflection winding, in a DC blocking capacitor and in a deflection current sampling resistor. An emitter electrode of a transistor is coupled between the deflection winding and the capacitor. A base electrode of the transistor is coupled between the capacitor and the resistance. A collector current of the transistor varies in a vertical rate parabolic manner and has a DC average value that is determined by a DC average value of a voltage that is developed in the capacitor. The collector current is applied to an East-West raster distortion correction circuit for modulating an amplitude of a horizontal deflection current.
