the BIMOS is used as the feed back input from the CRT base
panel.
9.6.9 Beam current limiting
A beam current limiting circuit inside the BiMOS handles the
contrast and brightness control for the RGB signals. This
prevents the CRT tube being over driven, which may cause
serious damage in the line output stage. The reference used for
this purpose is the DC voltage on Pin 22 (BLCIN) of the TV-
processor. Contrast and brightness reduction of the RGB
output signals is therefore proportional to the voltage present
on this pin. Contrast reduction starts when the voltage on pin
22 is lower than 3.0 V. Brightness reduction starts when the
voltage on pin 22 is less than 2.0 V.
The voltage on pin 22 is normally 3.3V (limitor not active). To
enable correct operation however, an external adaptation to
the circuit is required for the correct functioning of the limiting
function. This is connected to Pin 22, the circuit therefore
ensures that correct peak white limiting and the average beam
current limiting takes place. Components 6212, 3246 are for
the average beam current limiting. As a reference for the
average beam current control the signal ABL_info is used. This
signal is a measurement of the picture contents. As the time
constant of the filter is much bigger than the frame period time,
the DC at the anode of 6212 represents the average value of
the picture content. Via 6212 and 2226 the DC voltage at pin
22 is slowly. The RGB output signals are applied to the CRT
panel via connector 0243. Via diodes 6213, 6214 and 6215 and
series resistor 3214, the RGB signals are also connected to the
CRT_discharge signal. The level of this signal is only high
during the time the set is switched off. And id due to the
cathodes of the CRT are driven fully negative. That means that
the beam current is increased. and consequently the CRT
quickly discharged.
9.6.10 CRT panel (see circuit diagram B)
On the CRT panel the analog output amplifiers for the RGB
signals are located.
The B-signal is amplified by the analog amplifier formed by a
circuit build around the transitors 7331, 7332 and 7333.
The G- signal is amplified by the analog amplifier formed by a
circuit build around the transitors 7321, 7322 and 7323. The
R- signal is amplified by the analog amplifier formed by a circuit
build around the transitors 7311, 7312 and 7313.
The supply voltage for the transistors is +160VA and is derived
from the line output stage.
