A synchronizing arrangement includes a window circuit (WINC1,WINC2) for generating a periodic window signal (LW,RW), and a gate circuit (GC) for supplying a periodic gating pulse (Hp). The gating pulse (Hp) is related to a presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) if the presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) occurs during the window signal (LW,RW). The gate circuit (GC) generates the gating pulse (Hp) related to a leading edge of the window signal (LW) if the presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) occurs before the start of the window signal (LW,RW), and the gate circuit (GC) generates the gating pulse (Hp) related to a trailing edge of the window signal (RW) if the presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) occurs after the end of the window signal (LW,RW).

Synchronizing arrangement including a gate circuit and a window circuit

A power supply circuit for generating two direct voltages. A preload, having a tap for deriving the second voltage, is arranged between the lead conveying the first voltage and a reference potential. To prevent mutual influences between the two voltages, the preload is in the form of a series arrangement of at least one resistor and a plurality of reverse-biassed semiconductor diodes, an abrupt change of the differential resistance occurring above a given value of the current through these diodes. A controllable semiconductor element for controlling the second voltage is incorporated between the tap and the lead conveying the second voltage. The first voltage may be an E.H.T. for a final anode of a picture display tube, the second voltage is then a focussing voltage for a focussing electrode of this tube.
