Abstract
An integratable CRT spot cut-off network is described for use in a television receiver. The network establishes a reference current for biasing up the receiver's G.sub.1 grid when the supply voltage comes up, and a bypass capacitor coupled to the grid charges toward the supply voltage. When the receiver is turned off, the network terminates the reference current as the supply voltage starts to collapse and prevents the bypass capacitor from discharging. The charge stored on the capacitor reverse biases the grid to cut off the receiver's beam current.
