Abstract:
The specification discloses a voltage supply system particularly adapted for use as an automatic brightness control for an image intensifier tube. The system includes a power oscillator for applying a constant A. C. voltage to a first multiplier which generates at least one constant D. C. voltage for application to the screen of the image intensifier tube. A regulator circuit includes a low power oscillator which generates a control A. C. signal and which further includes circuitry responsive to the screen current of the image intensifier tube for varying the amplitude of the control A. C. signal. The frequency of the control A. C. signal is substantially greater than the frequency of the constant A. C. voltage. A bilateral attenuator receives the constant A. C. voltage and is operable in response to the control A. C.
