Abstract
The present invention relates to digital protection circuits in a CRT based display system for the purpose of providing hardware protections to the system before exactly removing a crisis. Self-testing and diagnostic capabilities are also supplemented in a CRT based monitor that are used to lacking in the monitor. The protection circuit basically includes a microprocessor section, a timer section, a register section, a digital to analog converter section, an analog to digital converter section, a non-volatile memory section, and an analog section. All sections can be integrated in a single chip and share a single controller. By using two diodes with their negative terminals coupled together to supplement capabilities of self-testing and diagnostic even when lack of power supplying. All implementations mentioned above can be easily achieved at a very low additional cost.
