All of the previous discussion has been with regard to "Standard Frequency" vibrators, whose nominal frequencies are 115 cycles per second.

Many direct and indirect factors have an important bearing on the overall design of the power supply system and to the selection of the most suitable type of vibrator in particular.

From the above calculations and characteristics, it will be noted that the estimated input current at 2.0 volts CT, is well within the maximum value allowable for reasonable life expectancy.

The shunt-coil system employs a simplified mechanism as compared to the separate-driver system, for it requires fewer parts and adjustments.

The interrupter type of unit, as the name implies, interrupts the input battery current and switches it to the proper transformer windings so as to produce the desired alternating magnetic flux in the transformer core.

The timing capacitor, or "buffer" capacitor, is the third important element to be considered in designing a vibrator power supply.

Horizontal motion allows the programmer to move any of the 5 graphics objects relative to their current horizontal position. Each object has a 4 bit horizontal motion register (HMPO, HMP1, HMM0, HMM1, HMBL) that can be loaded with a value in the range +7 to -8 (negative values are expressed in two's complement form).

The PIA chip is an off-the-shelf 6532 Peripheral Interface Adaptor which has three functions, a programmable timer, 128 bytes of RAM, and two 8 bit parallel I/O ports

Vibrator Power Supply Systems have been used for many years to obtain high voltage currents from low voltage direct current sources. This text concerns the underlying principles of Vibrator Power Supply Systems and their application problems.
