Abstract
A horizontal sweep control synchronization circuit fixes the phase relationship between a horizontal synch pulse signal and a flyback signal by utilizing a first phase-lock-loop to fix the phase relationship between an oscillator signal, generated by the first loop, and the synch pulse signal, and a second loop to fix the phase relationship between the flyback signal and the oscillator signal. The first loop locks an edge of the synch pulse signal to the center of the oscillator signal, thereby allowing the synch pulse signal to remain locked to the oscillator signal during vertical retrace. The synchronization circuit only utilizes a single ramp forming circuit, thereby eliminating the jitter associated with multiple ramp forming circuits.
