Electron beam control system.

摘要

A high speed focus control circuit for an electron beam projection system. The circuit includes a conventional digital to analog converter, comprising a register for storing an n-bit digital value, and n current drivers, each of which provides a current which is proportional to the associated bit weighted value. Rather than summing the currents from all n current drivers and driving a single focus coil, each current driver is connected to one of n individual coils, wound on a common bobbin. This reduces circuit capacitance and permits higher switching speed.
