Training Manual VB8B Chassis

2. Scan Velocity Modulation Circuit (SVM)

2-1 Outline
The SVM (Scan Velocity Modulation) circuit improves the picture resolution by changing the electron
beam scan velocity to emphasize the brightness change of the contour of the picture. Increasing the scan
velocity of the electron beam makes the activation period of the fluorescent face shorter, lowering brightness. Decreasing scan velocity, increases the period of activation and raises brightness. Because this system does not change the volume of the beam current itself, it does not degrade the focus quality.
Fig. 2-1 shows the SVM circuitry of the VB8B chassis, Fig. 2-2 shows the functional waveforms respectively, and Fig. 2-3 shows the SVM block diagram.

2-2 Operation
At the SVM circuitry, the input video signal with positive polarity (a) is amplified and inverted by
Q1701. After passing through Q1702, the signal is differentiated by R1711 and L1701 and becomes (b).
This 1st differential signal passes through Q1705 and is further shaped by C1708, C1709, L1702, and
R1717, and amplified by Q1706. The result is the current waveform (c) which flows in the SVM coil.
Q1707 and Q1708 compose a complementary-amplification circuit connected directly at the base. The
base clipping provided by Q1707 and Q1708 VBE eliminates the fundamental noise generated as a result
of primary differentiation and improves the signal-to-noise ratio.
Q1709 and Q1711 compose a class B push-pull current-amplification circuit. The voltage at the connection points of the two output transistor collectors is balanced by half of the 130V source voltage.
Direct feedback is applied to the two output transistors by R1736. In operation, when the negative direction modulation voltage is applied to the output circuitry, Q1709 conducts and current flows into the
SVM coil charging C1722. At this time the deflection speed is increased and the brilliance decreases.
Next, when the positive direction modulation voltage is applied to the output circuitry, Q1711 conducts
and current flows through the SVM coil discharging C1722. At this time, the deflection speed is
decreased and the brilliance increases.
The current is 2nd differentiated by the SVM coil and C1722. The SVM coil consists of two coils assembled in the DY/CPM (Convergence Purity Magnet), which is located on the CRT neck and positioned
over the electron beam gun. One coil is positioned on the upper side of the gun and the other one is at
the lower side of the gun. The current through the SVM coil generates a magnetic field at right angles
with the electron beam and is added to the electromagnetic field produced by the horizontal deflection
yoke. Thus the deflection velocity of the electron beam is modulated by the SVM magnetic field resulting in a change of brightness. The total horizontal deflection magnetic field applied to the electron beam
results in waveform (d). The horizontal electron beam velocity changes as shown in (e) and the resultant brightness change is shown in (f).
When OSD (On Screen Display) characters are displayed, including captions, the blanking pulse is added
to transister Q1701 by Q1703 stopping the SVM so the characters will not be distorted.
Note:
This SVM circuitry is designed to be most effective at a frequency range of 3MHz to 4 MHz of the video
signal where the resolution of the picture is most visible.

The horizontal drive pulse is output from pin 30 of IC101 (signal processor) and input to the horizontal
output stage. The vertical sawtooth signal is output from pin 26 of IC101 and input to pin 6 of IC501.
The vertical output signal is output from pin 3 of IC501.
The signal processor (IC101) is controlled and compensated for V-size, S-correction, V-linearity, Pin
distortion correction, H-size and H-shift by the CPU via the I2C bus.
Pincushion correction (PCC) is accomplished by adding the east-west parabola pulse output from pin 25
to the horizontal output circuit.
Inner pincushion correction (Inner PCC) and right & left pincushion unbalance correction are accomplished by using FETs in parallel with C417, the S-correction capacitor.
Dynamic focus is also accomplished using T8801 in parallel with the S-correction capacitor C417.

3-2 Pincushion Correction

In the PCC correction circuit, consisting of Q461 and Q462, the east-west parabola signal supplied from
pin 25 of IC101 is added at the horizontal output stage and pincushion correction is performed by varying the DC bias.
Further, the ABL and ACL voltage is fed back to the base of Q461 to compensate for the width change
by the beam current.

occurs because of pincushion distortion. Particularly in the flat face CRT, the unbalanced pincushion distortion can stand out as shown in Fig. 3-6-1.
This is because the migration length of the electron beam is different between the central part and the
corner parts of the CRT face.
Generally, conventional pincushion correction circuitry can correct the isometric distortion, but it cannot correct pincushion distortion that is right and left unbalanced.
This unbalanced pincushion correction circuit is constructed with a FET (field effect transistor) and a
resistance circuit which are connected in parallel with the S-correction capacitor to resolve the unbalanced pincushion distortion.

3-3-2 Operation
Fig. 3-3 shows the diagram of the right and left unbalanced pincushion correction circuit.
When the S-correction capacitor is charged by the horizontal deflection current ia in the polarity as
shown by the arrow in Fig. 3-3, a positive voltage is impressed between G (gate) and S (source) of the
FET by the bias circuit. The FET turns ON between D (drain) and S (source) and current flows according to the voltage across the S-correction capacitor.
When the S-correction capacitor begins to discharge and the bias voltage between gate and source of the
FET becomes lower than the threshold level the FET turns OFF.
Fig. 3-4-1 and Fig. 3-4-2 show the waveforms of the horizontal deflection current during the horizontal
scan period. In the scanning interval last half the horizontal deflection current decreases so that the discharge current from the S-correction capacitor flows towards the FET, and amplitude of the upper part
of horizontal deflection current becomes less.
Fig. 3-5-1 and Fig. 3-5-2 show the waveforms of horizontal deflection current in the vertical scan period. When the voltage impressed across the S-correction capacitor is high due to the horizontal deflection current being high, the FET current will become high. This results in the greatest amount of correction. Therefore, the middle of the envelope of the upper part of horizontal deflection current becomes
dented as shown in Fig.3-5-2.
Because of this, deflection of the right side of the image becomes less, and the middle of the right side
of the image becomes dented as seen in Fig. 3-6-2. In this way the distorted image, which is right and
left unbalanced as shown in Fig. 3-6-1, is corrected as shown in Fig. 3-6-2.
Note:
Since correction of the right and left unbalanced pincushion will make the right side of the image smaller than the left side, additional consideration should be given to the linearity coil.

3-4. Inner Linearity Compensation by Dynamic S-Correction

3-4-1 Outline
Generally, a flat picture tube has a geometric error that is called inner pin distortion. Inner pin distortion is a geometric error resulting in a different cross hatch width between the sides and the center of the
image as shown in Fig. 3-8-1.
Compensating for this error is almost impossible by conventional PCC circuits. This inner pin distortion
can be overcome by adapting the value of the S-correction capacitor during a certain interval of the scan
time. In this way an improved S-shaped deflection current can be realized to compensate for the above
mentioned error of any picture tube.

3-4-2 Operation
Fig. 3-7 shows the diagram of the inner pincushion correction circuit.
Perfect horizontal linearity can be realized by a continuous adaptation of the deflection current during
the horizontal scan. Creating a more linear deflection current during the start and end of the scanning
time can be realized simply by increasing the value of the S-correction capacity during these scan intervals.
This is accomplished by switching another S-correction capacitor (C477) in parallel with C417 during
the proper scan interval or duty cycle.
Generally, the horizontal width is dependent on the voltage across the S-correction capacitor. Therefore,
by modulating this voltage the envelope of the horizontal deflection current becomes parabola shaped.
At the vertical scanning time of the top and bottom corners the voltage across the S-correction capacitor
is low. At the vertical scanning time of the center part the voltage across the S-correction capacitor is
high.
When the voltage across the S-correction capacitor C417 is low, D472 is OFF, Q451 is OFF, Q471 is
ON and C477 serves as the additional S-correction capacitor, and the horizontal width is widened.
When the voltage across the S-correction capacitor C417 is high, D472 is ON, Q451 is ON, Q471 is OFF
and C477 is removed, and the horizontal width is not changed.
In this way the inner linearity can be fully compensated over the complete picture by modulating the duty
cycle as a frame period.
Fig. 3-9-3 shows the horizontal deflection current with the inner Pincushion correction circuit and Fig.
3-8-4 shows the picture after geometrical adjustment.

4. Dynamic Focus Circuit

4-1 Outline
The migration length of the electron beam is different between the central part and the four corners of
the screen. This difference is further increased in a flat face CRT compared to a conventional round
shaped CRT. The most suitable focus voltage is usually different according to the migration length of
the electron beam. Therefore, it is necessary to change the focus voltage according to the beam landing
position to achieve optimum focus. This is called DAF (Dynamic Astigmatism Focusing).
The optimum focus voltage waveform is a parabola shape in the horizontal and vertical periods
(Fig. 4-2). Dynamic focus is realized by superimposing the amplified deflection current wave upon the
focus electrode.

4-2 Operation
The parabola voltage of the horizontal period is impressed across the S-correction capacitor C417 and
coupled by C8803A and C8804 to the primary of T8801. Any DC voltage component is blocked by
C8803A and C8804. The parabola voltage is boosted up to approximately 1000V at the secondary coil
of the step-up transformer T8801. The parabola voltage is supplied to FBT T402 pin 11 and superimposed upon the DC voltage through the coupling capacitor in the FBT.
The static focus voltage and the dynamic focus voltages are supplied to their respective focus electrodes
of the CRT.
Note:
The vertical parabola correction function is not used in the VB8B chassis.
For example, on the specification of CRT A68ERF031X013, the dynamic focus voltage is as follows:
Line parabola (screen edge-to-edge) on Vdyn = typ. 800V ---horizontal focus voltage
Frame parabola on Vdyn

= typ. 350V ---vertical focus voltage

Because the specification for the CRT shows the voltage for effective image screen, it is different from
the actual voltage and is more than 1000V as horizontal parabola voltage.
