The '''Tektronix 7A12''' is a 120 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].


The '''Tektronix 7A12''' is a 120 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].
Switches on the front panel control [[miniature relays]] in the signal path, such as those selecting input attenuators, through logic circuits.
It was designed by Roy Hayes
It uses the [[155-0032-00]] as a gain stage and the [[155-0022-00]] for channel switching.
(who also designed the [[3A3]] before leaving for HP Loveland in Jan 1971).
The 7A12 has relays in the signal path for the input attenuators.
The relays are controlled by logic in the 7A12, which is controlled by switches on the front panel of the 7A12.


The 7A12 uses the [[155-0032-00]] as a gain stage and the [[155-0022-00]] for channel switching.
The 7A12 was designed by [[Roy Hayes]] (who also designed the [[3A3]] and [[3A8]] before leaving for HP Loveland in Jan 1971).
The Evaluation Engineer for the 7A12 was [[Peter Starič]], co-author of the book "Wideband Amplifiers" with Erik Margan.
