Schematic | Crt Clock

Prototype the deflection amp on a breadboard, test with a function generator (X=triangle, Y=sine for Lissajous), then integrate the digital control.

1. Introduction Most digital clocks use 7-segment LEDs or LCD panels. This project takes a different path: using a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) as the display device. By driving the deflection coils (or plates) with precise analog waveforms, we draw the digits of a clock directly on the phosphor screen. Crt Clock Schematic
