An inverter applies a square-wave exciting voltage of horizontal deflection frequency to the primary winding of a ferroresonant power transformer. A square-wave alternating polarity output voltage developed across a secondary winding of the ferroresonant transformer is half-wave rectified and applied to an input choke of a horizontal deflection circuit. The input choke is coupled to the series arrangement of a horizontal deflection winding and a trace capacitor. A pincushion correction circuit switching transistor applies a DC voltage to the input choke at a controlled instant within the nonconduction interval of the half-wave rectified output voltage. The peak-to-peak horizontal scanning current is a function of the average voltage developed across the trace capacitor. This average voltage equals the average value of the voltage applied to the input choke. By varying at a vertical rate in a parabolic manner the controlled instant at which the switching transistor applies the DC voltage to the input choke, the peak-to-peak horizontal scanning current is modulated at a vertical rate in a parabolic manner to provide side pincushion correction. |
