The '''Tektronix | The '''Tektronix 3A74''' is a four-channel vertical plug-in [[introduced in 1963]] for [[560-series scopes]]. Bandwidth is DC to 2 MHz. | ||
[[560-series scopes]]. | |||
A modified 3A74/MOD730A (with a charge pre-amplifier on channel 1 to accommodate piezoelectric pressure transducers) was part of the [[Engine Analyzer System]]. | |||

==Internals== | |||
Each input signal passes through switchable input attenuators and then into a cathode-follower | |||
made from a [[7586]] Nuvistor triode driving a PNP differential amplifier. The output of this | |||
differential amplifier, for each of the four channels, passes through a diode-based | |||
analog signal switching network (multiplexer). The output of that multiplexer drives the output amplifier, | |||
which is part transistor, part tube. The one-hot select line signals for the multiplexer | |||
are generated by a transistor-based ring oscillator, a four-state cyclic state machine. | |||
This allows each of the input signals to be traced on the screen, one after another. | |||
The 3A74 uses Tek-made 185 Ω [[potentiometers]] in for the VAR GAIN controls. | |||
These can be a [[:Category:Repair_issues|maintenance issue]]. | |||
The 3A74 contains a total of eight 7586 [[Nuvistor]]s. | |||
