Abstract
A regulated power supply device, in particular for a line sweep circuit in a television receiver, containing a chopper circuit (10) which contains in series an inductor (16) and a bidirectional switch (15), which is controlled and mounted in parallel with a capacitor (13), forming a resonant circuit with the inductor (16) when the chopper switch (15) opens. The inductor (16) contains a winding (21), called the power supply winding, of a transformer (20), called the line transformer, in which another winding (22), mounted in series with a reservoir capacitor (33), is connected in parallel with another bidirectional switch (35 and 36), which equips the line sweep output stage (30). The transfer of energy between the chopper circuit (10) and the output stage (30) is done through the windings (21 and 22) of the transformer (20) and its effect is to charge the reservoir capacitor (33) which feeds, apart from the output stage (30), the preceding stages of the sweep circuit (which are not shown). The regulation is done by means of a regulation circuit (40) which receives the line return pulses from an additional winding (25) on the transformer by causing the phase shift to vary between the cut off (opening) instants of the two switches (10 and 35, 36).
