The 7A21N provides direct access to CRT for fast-risetime AC signals on the 500 MHz-class 7900 series scopes, i.e. [[7904]]/[[7904A]], [[R7903]], [[7934]], [[7912AD]](?).  Input signals are applied via a pair of [[GR-874]] connectors.  
The '''Tektronix 7A21N''' is a 7000-series plug-in that provides direct access to the CRT for fast-risetime  
AC signals on the 500 MHz-class 7900 series scopes, i.e. [[7904]]/[[7904A]], [[R7903]], [[7934]], [[7912AD]](?).


The 7A21N is fully passive and can be wired for single-ended or differential signals internally.  It includes two delay lines, two inverting "transformers" and a passive bridge and power divider.  There is no trigger pick-off, this would have to be provided externally e.g. through a [[7M11]].

The 7A21N is intended to be installed in the Left Vertical bay of the 79xx mainframe and requires the mainframe's vertical amplifier board to be replaced with the 7A21N CRT Input Network and 7A21N CRT Termination boards, which are shipped plugged into the back side of the 7A21N circuit board(A second-hand 7A21 without these boards and associated cables is useless!)  Obviously, installing these boards also disables the mainframe's readout facility.
