The '''Tektronix Type D''' is a differential amplifier plug-in for [[500-series scopes]]. | |||
It was designed by [[Rodgers Jenkins]]. | |||
Type D was the most sensitive plug-in of the original four. | |||
The bandwidth depends on the gain, ranging from 2 MHz at 50 mV/div to 300 kHz at 1 mV/div. | |||
There are two axes of sensitivity setting: a decade attenuator in front of a gain switch. | |||
This scheme would be reprised in Type [[W]]. | |||
It | It displays the difference between two input signals, with a common-mode rejection ratio of 10,000. | ||
It has six tubes, on a shock-mounted subchassis to avoid microphonics. | |||
Along with Types [[A]], [[B]], and [[C]], Type D was introduced with the [[531]] and [[535]] in [[introduced in 1954|1954]]. | |||
At the time it was called Type 53D. | |||
It was briefly renamed 53D/54D in 1955 with the introduction of the [[541]] and [[545]]. This quickly changed to 53/54D, and finally shortened to just "D" in 1959 with the introduction of the 5xxA scopes. | |||
was briefly renamed | Its final year in the catalog was 1968; it had been superseded by Type [[1A6]]. | ||

[[K]], [[L]], and [[T]] are tied for longest production life, at 16 years. | |||
[[B]], [[D]], and [[G]] are next at 15 years. | |||

* In practice, Type D behaves well up to about +/–15V if the CM signal is either a brief excursion or a constant. If the CM varies slowly, DC shift in the input tubes will degrade CMRR. | |||

Instruments below serial number 3462 used a pair of [[5814]] tubes at the input; later production used [[12AU7]]'s. | |||
These two tube types have different heater currents, and because the heaters are series-wired, you cannot switch from one type to the other without circuit modification. | |||
