ABSTRACT:
A transformerless power circuit for heating a filament of a fluorescent display comprises integrated circuit timing means comprising two timers having output terminals for developing alternating output signals of opposite polarity with respect to a d.c. bias-component of each output signal. The circuit also includes external resistor means, condenser means and voltage supply means for controlling the frequency of the timers. The circuit also includes d.c. bias component resistor means coupled to the output terminals for developing biascomponents of the same polarity at the display filament terminals with respect to a common reference potential for connection to a fluorescent display filament.
