<div>The '''Tektronix T5470''' (part no. 154-0478-00 with P31 [[phosphor]], T5470-31-2), is a 5 inch electrostatic deflection CRT used in the [[543|543B]], [[544]], [[545|545B]], [[546]], and [[547]]. <br />
<br />
It has an aluminized round flat face with 6 cm of usable vertical scan. <br />
The entire envelope is made of glass. There is a [[spiral accelerator|helical post-accelerator]].<br />
<br />
The T5470 has a specified dot size of 0.004", quite a bit tighter than the dot on higher-bandwidth CRTs that use an expansion mesh. <br />
<br />
The [[519]] has a very different CRT, but the same specified dot size as the 154-0478-00.<br />

The '''Tektronix 067-0513-00''' is a tunnel diode pulse generator that puts out a 400 mV pulse with 30 ps rise time.<br />
<br />
It runs off a pair of 22.5 V batteries and provides a pretrigger output and a main pulse output, both of which use [[GR-874 connector]]s.<br />
<br />
The active element is a 100 mA, 6 pF [[tunnel diode]], the [[152-0254-01]].<br />

The '''Tektronix 546''' is is a 50 MHz scope that takes [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]] like a [[547]], but without synchronized alternating timebases. <br />
<br />
Functionally, it is like a [[545|545B]], but with [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]] triggering and 50 MHz vertical bandwidth. <br />
<br />
There is also a rackmount version, the RM546. <br />
The 546 is less common than the 545 or 547. <br />
<br />
The project lead for the development of the Tektronix [[544]], 546, and [[547]] was [[Bob Rullman]].<br />

<br />
The '''Tektronix Type 544''' is a 50 MHz scope [[introduced in 1964]]. <br />
<br />
It has one timebase with several horizontal magnifier modes (×2, ×5, ×10, ×20, ×50, and ×100).<br />
To make horizontal magnification usable, the 544 has a vernier horizontal position control in addition to the regular horizontal position control. <br />
The fastest calibrated sweep is 10 ns/div. <br />
Some magnification modes provide sweeps faster than 10 ns/div, but in those modes the horizontal scale is not calibrated, and a lamp on the front panel lights up to remind the operator of that.<br />
<br />
The 544 (at least the early ones) uses the same [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]] triggering circuit <br />
as is used in early [[547]] (tunnel diode in the collector load of a PNP differential amplifier). <br />
<br />
There is also a rackmount version, the RM544.<br />
<br />
A factory modification, MOD 108G, was available that increased the accelerating voltage to 24 kV.<br />
The 1968 catalog lists an RM544 Mod 720 which has a direct-access plug-in and has 1 ns risetime (equiv. 350 MHz).<br />
<br />
The vertical amplifier and low voltage power supply of the 544 are the same as those of the [[546]] and [[547]]. <br />
The 544 uses the [[154-0478-00]] CRT which is also used by the [[543|543B]], [[545|545B]], [[546]], and [[547]].<br />
<br />
The project lead for the development of the Tektronix 544, [[546]], and [[547]] was [[Bob Rullman]].<br />

}}<br />
The '''Tektronix 547''' is a 50 MHz scope that takes [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]]. <br />
It has two identical timebases and, <br />
when used with the [[1A1]], [[1A2]], or [[1A4]], <br />
has the ability to display one input with one time scale and another input with a different time scale. <br />
The effect is similar to a [[dual-beam scopes|dual-beam scope]] <br />
assuming that the input signals are repetitive. <br />
This "Sweep Switching" feature differentiates the 547 from the [[546]].<br />
<br />
There is also a rackmount version, the RM547 or R547. <br />
<br />
The project lead for the development of the Tektronix [[544]], [[546]], and 547 was [[Bob Rullman]].<br />
<br />
==Internals==<br />
===Triggering===<br />
Triggering is done with [[tunnel diodes]].<br />
The 'A' trigger is based on a 10 mA tunnel diode.<br />
Up to serial number 11889, it uses a [[TD253]].<br />
From 11890 onward, it uses a [[152-0140-01]].<br />
<br />
===CRT===<br />
The 547 uses the Tektronix [[154-0478-00]] CRT.<br />
<br />
===HV Transformer===<br />
A common problem with 547s is the [[HV transformers|HV transformer]]. <br />
Rather than potting the HV transformer in wax, as was done up to that point, <br />
the 547's HV transformer was potted in epoxy.<br />
Unfortunately, this epoxy turned out to absorb moisture over time, <br />
particularly when used in humid climates.<br />
The moisture causes increased losses in the transformer. <br />
Excessive losses require the regulator to drive the [[6AU5]] input oscillator tube (V800) harder. <br />
Eventually, the drive circuit cannot supply enough power to keep the supply in regulation.<br />
The usual solution is to scavenge a replacement transformer from another scope.<br />
As a labor of love, hobbyists have been known to rebuild the HV transformers.<br />
This is discussed from time to time on the Yahoo TekScopes forum.<br />
<br />
===Vertical Amplifier===<br />
The 547 has a five-stage BJT vertical amplifier that is fully differential from the plug-in<br />
connector to the CRT vertical deflection plates.<br />
There is one tube in the vertical signal path,<br />
a [[12AT7]] acting as a unity-gain buffer between the plug-in connector and the vertical amplifier.<br />
<br />
====Spoiler Switch====<br />
The plug-in bay of the 547 has a "spoiler switch" that only enables the full bandwidth of the 547's<br />
vertical signal path when certain relatively modern plug-ins are used,<br />
such as the [[1A1]], [[1A2]], [[1A4]], [[1L30]], and [[1L40]].<br />
Those plug-ins have a small hole to the left of the plug-in to mainframe connector,<br />
so they can be fully inserted without pressing the spoiler switch.<br />
<br />
====Delay Line====<br />
There is a 170 nanosecond [[delay line]] between the first and second gain stages.<br />
<br />
===Power Supply ===<br />
<br />
The 547's power supply provides regulated outputs of −150 V, +100 V, +225 V, +350 V,<br />
as well as a +325 V unregulated output for CRT HV section.<br />
<br />
Multiple secondary windings feeds diodes for rectification for different voltages.<br />
Both center-tap and bridge configuration is used. Its a all Tube design for the regulation.<br />
There are multiple 6.3V secondary outputs for heaters,<br />
many elevated to different voltage levels based on the section/tube its used for to keep the Heater-Cathode voltage level within limits.<br />
<br />
As is common in many Tektronix scopes,<br />
all regulated voltages are referred to the negative regulated rail (−150 V in this case) by fixed low-tolerance dividers.<br />
Only the −150 V voltage is trimmed, its reference is a [[OG3]] VR tube.<br />
A [[12AX7]] is used as the comparator and two [[6CW5]] in parallel are used as series pass tubes.<br />
A [[6AU6]] is used as an error amplifier. <br />
Most other power supply sections in the 547 replicate the same basic design,<br />
except slight changes in tubes used − the +225 V and +100 V regulators employ a [[6080]] as the pass element, +350 uses a [[6CW5]]. <br />
<br />
The plate voltage delay circuit is similar to that found in many may other Teks of the same era.<br />
A 6N030 delay tube (P/N 148-0021-00) controls a relay that switches plate supply voltages on only after the tubes are warmed up.<br />
Heater voltage is applied to all tubes immediately when the power switch is turned on.<br />

The '''Tektronix Type 1A5''' is a differential amplifier plug-in for [[500-series scopes]]. <br />
<br />
It has an [[Amphenol 165 series connector]] on the front panel for direct connection of the Type [[P6046|P6046 Active Differential Probe]]. <br />
<br />
Type 1A5 was [[introduced in 1967]], replacing Types [[W]] and [[Z]], and lasted until the end of the 500-series scope line.<br />
<br />
{{BeginSpecs}}<br />
{{Spec | Bandwidth | 50 MHz down to 5 mV/div, 40 MHz at 1 mV/div }}<br />
{{Spec | Deflection | 1 mV/div to 20 V/div, 1−2−5 }}<br />
{{Spec | Common-mode rejection | 20,000:1 at low frequencies, deteriorating to 200:1 at 20 MHz }}<br />
{{EndSpecs}}<br />
<br />
Like most Tektronix differential plug-ins, the 1A5 has three modes: <br />
V<sub>A</sub>−V<sub>C</sub>, V<sub>A</sub>−V<sub>B</sub>, and V<sub>C</sub>−V<sub>B</sub>.<br />
<br />
V<sub>C</sub> is controlled by a ten-turn potentiometer and can vary from −5 V to +5 V (0.5 V on the 5 V/div to 20 V/div ranges). <br />

<br />
The '''Tektronix 1A2''' is a two-channel plug-in amplifier for [[500-series scopes]]. It provides a -3 dB point of<br />
50 MHz in a [[544]], [[546]], or [[547]], and 50 mV/div sensitivity. <br />
<br />
The Type 1A2 was [[introduced in 1964]] together with Types [[1A1]], [[543|543B]], [[545|545B]], [[544]], [[546]], and [[547]].<br />
It was designed to replace the venerable [[CA|Type CA]], while the [[1A1]] delivered<br />
ten times the sensitivity at a higher price and is able to lock channel 1 to Type [[547]]'s timebase A<br />
and channel 2 to timebase B. On the other hand, Type 1A2 can select which channel provides triggering<br />
when the mainframe is set to Plug-In mode. They share some mechanical design, but the<br />
circuits have few details in common.<br />
<br />
The 1A2 remained available until the [[500-series scopes|500-series scope line]] was discontinued.<br />
<br />
The 1A2 uses a [[7586]] [[nuvistor]] at the front end as a cathode follower.<br />
Then one input of an NPN differential amplifier is driven to produce a differential current-mode signal at the collectors.<br />
Silicon diodes form an analog multiplexer that switches between the two inputs.<br />
A cross-coupled pair of PNP transistors forms a multivibrator that generates the voltages that control the diodes that select the input channel.<br />

}}<br />
The '''Tektronix Type 1A1''' plug-in for the [[500-series scopes]] has two channels<br />
and a -3 dB point of 50 MHz at 50 mV/Div, 28 MHz at 5 mV/Div,<br />
and 2 Hz to 15 MHz at 500 μV/Div when channels 1 and 2 are cascaded.<br />
<br />
There were three distinct versions of 1A1.<br />
* The first version, from 1964 to 1966, has a [[Nuvistor]] front-end, and [[rotary_input_switch|rotary input switches]] that were concentric with the [[BNC]] jacks. The knobs to invert the input channels are concentric with the the vertical position knobs.<br />
* The second version, from 1966 to ??? has fluted round V/cm knobs, and lever switches. The channel inversion control is an organ-style pull-push knob.<br />
* The third model, from ??? until the end has four-sided V/cm knobs and a FET front-end.<br />
<br />
Type 1A1 uses the "ALT SWEEP SLAVE PULSE" signal that is sent by scopes on pin 7 of the plug-in connector. <br />
In a Type [[547]] mainframe, <br />
this signal allows channel 1 to be displayed using the "A" timebase <br />
and channel 2 using the "B" timebase.<br />
This is useful, for example, to view the IF and AF of a radio receiver at the same time. <br />
Even after the front-end transitioned from Nuvistors to FETs, <br />
the output amplifier continued to use Nuvistors.<br />
<br />
Type 1A1 has an External Trigger output for mainframes prior to the [[547]] that don't support plug-in triggering.<br />
<br />
Types 1A1 and [[1A2]] were [[introduced in 1964|introduced together in 1964]], <br />
the former for high-end use, the latter as an upgrade/replacement for [[CA|Type CA]]. <br />
Both remained available until the [[500-series scopes|500-series scope line]] was discontinued.<br />
<br />
The 1A1 is not a perfect superset of the 1A2; it supplies external trigger from channel 1 only.<br />
<br />
The 1A1 may have evolved from the [[J|Type J]], which never went into production.<br />

The '''Tektronix Type O''' is a [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins|letter-series plug-in]] that contains two op-amps. <br />
<br />
The input and feedback networks of the op-amps can be configured from the front panel using knobs and/or user-supplied components.<br />
There are sockets on the front panel for banana plugs. <br />
<br />
Type O also has a regular signal input that does not involve the op-amps. <br />
A mode switch selects which op-amp's output will be displayed, or the regular signal input.<br />
<br />
Regular signal bandwidth is 25 MHz, maximum sensitivity is 50 mV/div,<br />
op-amp gain-bandwidth product is 15 MHz, and open-loop DC gain is 2500.<br />
<br />
Type O was [[introduced in 1962|introduced in mid-1962]] and was<br />
available through 1973.<br />
<br />
The Type O can be used with any of the following adapters: <br />
[[013-081]], [[013-068]], [[013-048]], [[013-0048-01]], [[013-0049-01]], [[013-0086-00]], [[013-0067-00]] (manual below).<br />

The '''Tektronix Type M''' is a four-channel plug-in for [[500-series scopes]]. <br />
Early versions had [[UHF connector]]s for the inputs. <br />
Later versions have [[BNC connector]]s for the inputs. <br />
<br />
Type M was [[introduced in 1962]], along with the [[O|Type O]], and dropped after 1972.<br />
<br />
{{MissingSpecs}}<br />
<br />
The risetime is 17 nanoseconds, bandwidth is DC to 20 MHz.<br />
Maximum sensitivity is 20 mV/div.<br />
Each channel can be AC or DC coupled, inverted or straight, or disabled entirely.<br />
The enabled channels can operate in CHOP or ALT mode.<br />
<br />
==Internals==<br />
Each input goes through a step attenuator, <br />
is clamped by a neon bulb, <br />
and then is fed to the grid of a cathode follower <br />
made with a [[7586]] Nuvistor tube. <br />
Next, the signal goes to a PNP differential amplifier. <br />
Diodes in series with the collector signal <br />
of this differential amplifier are used for input channel switching.<br />
An internal differential signal bus connects <br />
the switched outputs of each of the input channels <br />
and feeds the signal to the output amplifier, <br />
which drives pins 1 and 3 of the [[500-series plug-in connector]]. <br />
The output amplifier is two [[12AU6]] pentodes <br />
connected as a differential amplifier, <br />
followed by a [[12AT7]] dual triode acting <br />
as a cathode follower to drive the output <br />
with a relatively low impedance.<br />

The '''Tektronix Type L''' is an amplifier plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].<br />
<br />
The Type L is a [[K|Type K]] plus a 10x-gain AC-coupled preamp<br />
that extends the maximum sensitivity to 5 mV/div.<br />
Bandwidth in a [[545]] is 30 MHz at 50 mV/div and above, 3 Hz-24 MHz at 20 mV/div and below.<br />
<br />
Type 53/54L was [[introduced in 1957]] along with the [[536]] and its companion<br />
[[T|53/54T]] sweep plug-in. It was renamed the Type L in 1959.<br />
It was the fastest 5 mV plug-in until the [[1A1]] in 1964.<br />
It was dropped after 1972.<br />
<br />
[[K]], [[L]], and [[T]] are tied for longest production life, at 16 years.<br />
[[B]], [[D]], and [[G]] are next at 15 years.<br />
<br />
Late versions have a [[BNC connector]] instead of a [[UHF connector]].<br />

<br />
The '''Tektronix Type D''' is a differential amplifier plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].<br />
<br />
It has high gain, and the bandwidth depends on the gain, ranging from 2 MHz at 50 mV/div and up, to 300 kHz at 1 mV/div.<br />
<br />
It displays the difference between two input signals, with a common-mode rejection ratio of 10,000. It has<br />
six tubes, on a shock-mounted subchassis to avoid microphonics.<br />
<br />
Type D was [[introduced in 1954|introduced]] with the [[531]] and [[535]] in [[introduced in 1954|1954]] as Type 53D.<br />
It was briefly renamed Type 53D/54D in 1955 with the introduction of the [[541]] and [[545]],<br />
and then quickly renamed Type 53/54D.<br />
Its name was then shortened to Type D in 1959 with the introduction of the 5xxA scopes.<br />
Its last year was 1968, having been superseded by the constant-bandwidth model [[1A6]].<br />
<br />
[[K]], [[L]], and [[T]] are tied for longest production life, at 16 years.<br />
[[B]], [[D]], and [[G]] are next at 15 years.<br />
<br />
[[Lavoie Laboratories]] produced an unauthorized clone, the [[Lavoie LA-265-D]].<br />
<br />
==Internals==<br />
Some production runs used a pair of [[5814]] tubes at the input while others used [[12AU7]]'s.<br />
These two tube types have different heater currents, and because the heaters are<br />
series-wired, you cannot switch from one type to the other without circuit modification.<br />

The '''Tektronix Type CA''' is the most common plug-in for [[500-series scopes]]. <br />
Over 50,000 were produced.<br />
<br />
The risetime of a Type [[545]] oscilloscope with a Type CA plug-in is 15 nanoseconds,<br />
and the bandwidth is 24 MHz. Maximum vertical sensitivity is 50 mV/div.<br />
<br />
Type CA is an enhancement over its predecessor, Type [[C|53/54C]], adding<br />
ADDED mode to the A, B, CHOPPED, ALT repertoire. The "A" in "CA" stands<br />
not only for the fact that it is a modified, enhanced replacement, but<br />
also because the feature added was "ADDED". It was [[introduced in 1959]] and<br />
discontinued in 1973, making it not only the most-produced but<br />
also one of the longest-lived.<br />
<br />
Late versions have [[BNC connector]]s instead of [[UHF connector]]s.<br />
<br />
[[Lavoie Laboratories]] produced an unauthorized clone, the [[Lavoie LA-265-CA]].<br />

The '''Tektronix Type B''' is a plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].<br />
<br />
It is identical to [[A|Type A]], with the addition of a ×10-gain<br />
AC amplifier which can be switched in to extend the vertical<br />
sensitivity from 50 mV/div to 5 mV/div.<br />
<br />
Like the Type A, the Type B has its roots in the [[introduced in 1954|1954]]<br />
introduction of the [[531]] and [[535]], as the Type 53B,<br />
with 10x-AC bandwidth of 2 Hz to 9 MHz.<br />
<br />
In 1956, it was replaced by the Type 53/54B with DC−20 MHz<br />
or 2 Hz−12 MHz bandwidth in the [[541]] and [[545]]. <br />
<br />
In 1959, the Type 53/54B was renamed the Type B, <br />
and it was available through 1970.<br />
<br />
The military version is known as the '''AM-1841/USM''', wich is the same as a 53/54B MOD601.<br />
<br />
[[K]], [[L]], and [[T]] are tied for longest production life, at 16 years.<br />

}}<br />
The '''Tektronix Type Z''' is a comparator plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].<br />
Its two main subsystems are a differential amplifier and a precision variable<br />
DC voltage source, which can be used as one of the amplifier inputs.<br />
This allows DC-coupled measurements of small signals with large DC offsets. <br />
Its maximum sensitivity is 50 mV/div, and it achieves 40,000 to 1 common-mode<br />
rejection at DC and low frequencies. Its risetime as a general-purpose<br />
amplifier is 27 ns (13 MHz bandwidth), but it can track a common-mode risetime of 7 ns.<br />
<br />
The Type Z has two inputs, A and B, plus a precision comparison voltage, V<sub>C</sub>, that is<br />
adjustable from 0 to +/-1 V, 10 V, or 100 V via a ten-turn pot. It's possible to<br />
view V<sub>A</sub>, -V<sub>B</sub>, V<sub>A</sub>-V<sub>B</sub>,<br />
V<sub>A</sub>-V<sub>C</sub>, or V<sub>C</sub>-V<sub>B</sub>.<br />
<br />
Unlike later comparators, it has a separate step attenuator for each input,<br />
permitting the user to view the difference between signals of widely differing amplitudes.<br />
It is also the only comparator that can handle +/- 100 V common mode at full sensitivity.<br />
The Type Z uses two [[turret attenuators]].<br />
<br />
With a pair of "Disconnect Signal" buttons, the Type Z was the first of the <br />
movement toward a "GND" position on the input switches.<br />
<br />
The Type Z was [[introduced in 1960]] and uses both tubes and transistors,<br />
capitalizing on the strengths of each. It was dropped after 1968.<br />
<br />
The Type [[P6023]] probe, [[introduced in 1962]] with R and C compensation,<br />
was specifically designed for the Type Z but also marketed for the Type [[G]].<br />

}}<br />
The '''Tektronix Type W''' is a differential comparator plug-in amplifier for [[500-series scopes]]. <br />
Its bandwidth varies from 23 MHz to 8 MHz depending on gain. Only modestly <br />
faster than its [[Z|Type Z]] predecessor, Type W extends performance in <br />
terms of sensitivity, reaching 1 mV/div. <br />
<br />
It achieves 20,000 to 1 common-mode rejection at DC and low frequencies.<br />
It has a built in precision variable voltage supply, "V<sub>c</sub>", <br />
which is controlled by a ten-turn pot and can vary from either -1.1 V to +1.1 V or -11 V to +11 V. <br />
<br />
Type W has two signal inputs, "A" and "B". <br />
A mode switch selects between displaying A-Vc, A-B, or Vc-B. <br />
The "A-B" mode is particularly useful for displaying the current in a sense resistor, <br />
while the other modes provide "slideback" measurements of small variations superimposed on a large constant. <br />
<br />
An output of V<sub>c</sub> is provided on the front panel of the Type W. Unlike the Z,<br />
Type W has two gain axes, a decade attenuator and a 1-2-5-10-20-50 selector, <br />
reminiscent of [[D|Type D]] from ten years before.<br />
<br />
Type W is the only letter-series plug-in with an "infinite resistance" input mode selectable at the front panel.<br />
([[1A5|Type 1A5]] has an internal jumper that can be cut.)<br />
<br />
In the letter-series timeline of differential comparators, Type W, [[introduced in 1965]], <br />
follows [[Z|Type Z]] and precedes [[1A5|Type 1A5]].<br />

<div>The '''Tektronix Type V''' is a video plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].<br />
It never went into full production.<br />
<br />
Larry Biggs was the project leader. Ron Olson did the dual-trace vertical.<br />
Phil Crosby did the sync, D.C. restorer, and line selector.<br />
The design was started in late 1959.<br />
The plan was to have a plug-in that could functionally replace the 524.<br />
<br />
See https://vintagetek.org/television-products/ about a third of the way down is a blurb about the V unit.<br />
<br />
Although the V unit never made it to market, Ron Olsen ended up using much of the dual-trace vertical design in the [[1A1]].<br />
