The '''Tektronix 112''' is a DC-coupled differential amplifier [[introduced in 1949]].   
The '''Tektronix 112''' is a DC-coupled differential amplifier [[introduced in 1949]].   
The voltage gain can be set from 0.5 to 5000 V/V. 
The frequency response is DC to 2 MHz when the gain is set below 166, and DC to 1 MHz for gain settings greater than that.


The 112 is intended for use with the [[511]], [[512]], [[514]], and [[524]] oscilloscopes.
The 112 is intended for use with the [[511]], [[512]], [[514]], and [[524]] oscilloscopes.
The input impedance is 1 MΩ in parallel with 47 pF. The output impedance is 8000 Ω.
