The '''Tektronix Type H''' is a single-channel, 15 MHz plug-in for [[500-series scopes]]. | |||
It provides two inputs and has a switch to select between them. | |||
A design compromise, Type H is not as fast as [[B|Type B]], but it is DC-coupled on all ranges. | |||
Type 53/54H was [[introduced in 1958]], along with the [[533]] and [[543]], renamed Type H in 1959, and dropped after 1970. | Type 53/54H was [[introduced in 1958]], along with the [[533]] and [[543]], renamed Type H in 1959, and dropped after 1970. | ||
The turret attenuator was designed by [[Lang Hedrick]]'s group. | |||

==Internals== | |||
The input is switched via a frequency-compensated attenuator network which is controlled by the Volts/cm switch. | |||
Later Type H models use a [[Turret attenuators|turret attenuator]]. | |||
Type H with S/N less than 10,000 have ordinary rotary switches. | |||
Input is then coupled to the paraphase amplifier or phase inverter made up of two [[12AU6]] pentode tubes, V3854 and V4854. | |||
This stage converts the input signal to a differential push-pull output. Output of this stage is then passed to the first cathode follower, made with a [[12AT7]] dual triode, V3863A and V3863B. The output from this cathode follower is then passed to the main amplifier made with a pair of [[12AU6]] pentodes, V3874 and V4874. The final output to the scope chassis is driven via final cathode follower with a [[12AT7]] dual triode tube, V3893A and V3893B, which drives pin 1 and 3 of the connector to drive the vertical amplifier inside the chassis. | |||
The tubes are heated from the +75 V<sub>DC</sub> heater supply available at pin 15 of the plug-in connector. This is to avoid any interference/hum from the regular AC heater supply at 60 Hz. | |||
The chassis is shock-mounted to reduce microphonics. | |||
