The Tektronix 7A16 is a single channel, 150 MHz general-purpose vertical amplifier for 7000-series scopes. It was designed by Jim Woo. The 7A16 was introduced in 1969 and superseded by the bandwidth enhanced 7A16A in 1973. The 7A16P is GPIB-programmable variant for digitizing mainframes.

Key Specifications

Bandwidth	0 – 150 MHz (DC), 10 Hz – 150 MHz (AC)
Deflection	5 mV/Div to 5 V/Div in 1–2–5 sequence
Input impedance	1 MΩ // 15 pF
Features	20 MHz bandwidth limit switch Invert switch Probe multiplier / Identify switch sensing input

Internals
