Abstract
This invention concerns television scanning circuits. It involves a scanning startup circuit comprising a capacitor, and means of gradual charging or discharging, to produce a priority voltage transmitted at startup to replace a control voltage, regulating a chopped power supply circuit which is to be started up progressively. At the end of a certain period of time, the regulation control voltage takes over from the original voltage which, at startup, is at a level such that it prevents over-consumption of current in power components. The circuit is also protected against voltage surges, being halted and restarted automatically and gradually in the event of such a surge.
