Abstract:
A system for applying a high test voltage to a CRT through a high capacitance load includes two serially connected MOSFETs which have opposite polarities. A video input pulse triggers one MOSFET through an opto-isolation network. The video pulse is delayed and triggers the other MOSFET. The trigger pulses are the same polarity and only one of the MOSFETs can conduct at a given time. The capacitive load is coupled between the MOSFETs and received a high voltage short time pulse when one of the MOSFETs is conductive. The use of two MOSFETs permits the testing of both cathode driven and grid driven CRTs.
