What is typical deflection yoke current for full displacement?

Peaks of 1.5A for the vertical coil are about right. For the horizontal coil, multiply by 10 to 30. Yes, it takes a lot of current.

For the same bandwidth, it would probably cost less to capture digitally, then display the result as a raster scanned image.

Just curious how much current is required in the deflection yoke coil for a full scale displacement of the dot? Are we talking in the mA or A range for a typical - let say ~20" - tube? I've seen vertical deflection circuitry specs around 3A p-p. Does the yolk really require this much current to reach full scale dot displacement for a sweep?



Trying to get a rough guestimate of measurement bandwidth should I use the TV as an oscilloscope given the limitations of the voltage to current circuitry. Was going to implement V to I circuitry using high voltage and slew op-amps. It's not looking too hot - those coils really screw you. A TV oscope - that makes no linearity adjustments and has no bells and whistles - with a bandwidth in the 10's to 100's kHz is pretty crappy. If the yoke current range is in the amp range, I'm really hosed - not that I expected a high performance scope...


Thanks,
