The '''Tektronix 112''' is a DC-coupled differential amplifier [[introduced in 1950]].   
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 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.

A two-position switch on the rear panel of the Type 112 controls the common-mode output voltage.
A two-position switch on the rear panel of the Type 112 controls the common-mode output voltage.
In one position, the common-mode output voltage is 0 V.
In one position, the common-mode output voltage is +150 V,
In the other position, the common-mode output voltage is +150 V.
which is the plate voltage of the [[6AG7]] tubes of the output amplifier.
The Type 112 manual recommends 0 V for driving the CRT of the [[511]],
In the other position, the common-mode output voltage is 0 V.

The shifting of the common-mode output voltage 150 V downward is accomplished
The shifting of the common-mode output voltage 150 V downward is accomplished
by enabling a pair of 680 μA DC current sinks that cause a voltage drop on 220 kΩ series output resistors.
