The Tektronix DC504 is a 80 MHz, 5-digit frequency counter plug-in for the TM500 system.

It was superseded by the DC504A in 1984.

Key Specifications

Frequency Range DC (AC coupled: 10 Hz) to at least 80 MHz
Sensitivity 20 mVRMS sine wave below 15 MHz, 35 mVRMS to 50 MHz, derated down to 175 mVRMS at 80 MHz
Input impedance 1 MΩ // 20 pF
Trigger Level Range −1.5 V to +1.5 V
Frequency Resolution kHz ranges: 0.1 Hz; 1 Hz and 10 Hz (7 digit resolution possible in overflow kHz position); MHz ranges: 100 Hz, 1 kHz (9 digit resolution possible in overflow kHz position)
Period resolution ms ranges: 1 µs, 10 µs; s ranges: 10 ms, 1 ms, 0.1 ms
Display Time Variable ~0.1 s ... ~10 s and HOLD mode
Standard Time Base 1 MHz, ±1×10-5 from 0°C to +50°C, ±1×10-5 per month, Adjustable to within 1×10-7
Opt. 1 Time Base 5 MHz, ±1×10-7 from 0°C to +50°C, ±1×10-7 per month, Adjustable to within 1×10-9

An internal "RPM" mode switch stretches gate times sixfold, giving a longest gate time of 1 minute with a display scaled in revolutions per minute.

Internals

The DC504 uses a Mostek MK5009P PMOS oscillator/counter IC to control gate times. The first counter stage is a Signetics 82S90 85(100) MHz decade counter, followed by four 7490 decade counters, 7475 latches, and 7401s to multiplex the output/display.
