rises to a level that will cause
the Trigger output gate
U480B
pin

to switch.
Precise TV field synchronization is obtained as a re-
sult of this filtering action. The Trigger signal output
will be the inverse of the filtered signal appearing at
U480B
pin

SWEEP AND SWEEP GENERATOR LOGIC
The Sweep Logic circuitry and the Sweep Generator
circuitry, shown on diagrams
4
and
5
respectively,
produce a linear voltage ramp that drives the
Horizontal Preamplifier. The Sweep Logic circuit also
produces signals that are used to generate correct
timing of the crt unblanking and intensity levels used
for viewing the display. See Figure
3-3
for the block
diagram of the Sweep Generator and Logic circuitry.
Miller Sweep Generator
The Miller Sweep Generator (diagram
5)
produces a
linear voltage ramp that drives the Horizontal Ampli-
fier. It produces the ramp voltage by maintaining a
constant current through timing capacitors, causing
a linear voltage rise across them as they charge.
Field-effect transistors
Q704A
and
Q704B
are
matched devices with
Q704B
acting as the current
source for
Q704A.
Since the gate and source of
Q704B
are connected together, the source current
available to
Q704A
is just enough so that there is no
voltage drop across the gate-source junction of
Q704A.
When the sweep is not running,
Q701
is biased on,
holding the selected timing capacitors in a dis-
charged state. The low impedance of
(2701
in the
feedback path holds the Miller Sweep output near
ground potential. The voltage across
Q701,
in
addition to the base-emitter voltage of
(2706,
prevents
0706
from becoming saturated.
