Abstract

A device for controlling the linearity of a horizontal deflection stage comprising a deflection yoke supplied with a yoke current controlled by a switch and series-connected to a capacitor for varying the yoke voltage according to the phase of the yoke current; the device comprising a circuit for detecting and generating a real signal proportional to the yoke current, a ramp generator for generating an ideal ramp signal having rising portions defining a given S-shaped wave:form, and an error amplifier for receiving the real and ideal ramp signals and generating an error signal for driving a power transistor having its emitter and collector terminals connected parallel to the capacitor for modifying the voltage in the capacitor so that the yoke current assumes the required waveform.
