Abstract

A vertical amplifier of a vertical deflection circuit has an output transistor operating as a conductive switch that couples a boosted supply voltage to a vertical deflection winding during vertical retrace. A feedback network that bypasses the deflection winding is coupled between an output terminal and an input terminal of the amplifier to provide a phase lead. A clamping diode is coupled to the feedback network. The clamping diode reduces a magnitude of a feedback signal, during vertical retrace, in a manner to delay an instant in which the output transistor begins operating as an amplifier stage. The lengthening of vertical retrace due to the feedback signal is thereby reduced.
