Latest revision as of 15:36, 18 August 2024
The Tektronix 547 is a 50 MHz scope that takes letter-series and 1-series plug-ins.
It has two identical timebases and, when used with the 1A1, 1A2, or 1A4, has the ability to display one input with one time scale and another input with a different time scale. The effect is similar to a dual-beam scope assuming that the input signals are repetitive. This "Sweep Switching" feature differentiates the 547 from the 546.
There is also a rackmount version, the RM547 or R547.
The program manager for the development of the Tektronix 544, 546, and 547 was Bob Rullman. The 547 vertical amplifier was designed by Keith Taylor. Other people involved with the design were John Gates, Gene Kauffman, and George Smith.

Internals
Triggering
The 'A' and 'B' triggers are based on a 10 mA tunnel diode. Up to serial number 11889, it uses a TD253. From 11890 onward, it uses a 152-0140-01.
HV Transformer
A common problem with 547s is the HV transformer. Rather than potting the HV transformer in wax, as was done up to that point, the 547's HV transformer was potted in epoxy. Unfortunately, this epoxy turned out to absorb moisture over time, particularly when used in humid climates. The moisture causes increased losses in the transformer.
Excessive losses require the regulator to drive the 6AU5 input oscillator tube (V800) harder. Eventually, the drive circuit cannot supply enough power to keep the supply in regulation. The usual solution is to scavenge a replacement transformer from another scope. As a labor of love, hobbyists have been known to rebuild the HV transformers. This is discussed from time to time on the groups.io (formerly Yahoo) TekScopes forum.
Bernie Schroder has found that the HV transformer degeneration can be slowed considerably by keeping the HV module cool and dry. The mod he was taught by Jim Willams involves replacing the 5642 tube rectifiers with NTE517 diodes to reduce the load on the regulator circuit by about 1 Watt by eliminating the filaments. However, this can force the regulator past its design limit and result in lack of regulation, until the transformer heats up and more power is required due to losses.
After changing to semiconductor diodes, it will be seen that grid pin 7 of V814 will be about 0 volts (fully on, with no swing to regulate) in an attempt to force its anode (pin 6) to about +55 V, which is the screen input of the 6AU5 (pin 8).
One way to remedy this is to replace the anode resistor coming off pin 6 of V814 (R803) from 56 kΩ to 82 kΩ. Doing so changes the grid voltage on pin 7 of V814 to a comfortable −0.8 V at switch-on.
Again, this becomes more negative as the losses inside the transformer increase, but not by much if the transformer is healthy.
A second path to thermal runaway on early serial numbers is C808, which resonates the transformer primary winding. Tek used a Sprague 160P DiFilm Black Beauty. In the 2020's, 160P's are exhibiting high Dissipation Factor when warm, enough to self-heat in this case. Replace with any modern capacitor.
Vertical Amplifier
The 547 has a five-stage BJT vertical amplifier that is fully differential from the plug-in connector to the CRT vertical deflection plates. There is one tube in the vertical signal path, a 12AT7 acting as a unity-gain buffer between the plug-in connector and the vertical amplifier.
Spoiler Switch
The plug-in bay of the 547 has a "spoiler switch" that only enables the full bandwidth of the 547's vertical signal path when certain relatively modern plug-ins are used, such as the 1A1, 1A2, 1A4, and 1A5.
Those plug-ins have a small hole to the left of the plug-in to mainframe connector, so they can be fully inserted without pressing the spoiler switch. (Spectrum analyzer plug-in Types 1L30 and 1L40 have the hole too but for no reason since their vertical output is low frequency.)

Delay Line
There is a 170 nanosecond delay line between the first and second gain stages.
Power Supply
The 547's power supply provides regulated outputs of −150 V, +100 V, +225 V, and +350 V, plus a +325 V unregulated output for the CRT HV oscillator.
Multiple secondary windings feed diodes for rectification for different voltages, using both center-tap and bridge configurations. The regulator section uses no transistors, only tubes. There are multiple 6.3 V secondary outputs for heaters, some elevated to different voltage levels based on the section/tube that is supplied, in order to keep the heater-to-cathode voltage level within limits.
As is common in many Tektronix scopes, all regulated voltages are referred to the negative regulated rail (−150 V in this case) by fixed low-tolerance dividers. Only the −150 V voltage is trimmed; its reference is a OG3 VR tube. A 12AX7 is used as the comparator and two 6CW5 in parallel are used as series pass tubes. A 6AU6 is used as an error amplifier.

The plate voltage delay circuit is similar to that found in many may other Tek scopes of the same era. Heater voltage is applied to all tubes immediately when the power switch is turned on. A 6N030T delay tube (P/N 148-0021-00) controls a relay that switches plate supply voltages on only after the tubes are warmed up.
