About the M377, John Addis says:
Its initial use was in the [[11A16]], [[11A32]], [[11A33]], [[11A34]] and [[11A52]] plug-ins.

The packaged M377 die has the following Tek part numbers:
Later, the M377 and M777 were also used in several other Tek instruments.
If the instrument has more than 300 MHz bandwidth at 1 mV/div sensitivity,
it can be assumed to be using the M777 which makes use of Tek's later IC fabrication process
that provides transistor with higher f<sub>t</sub>.
 
The M377 and M777  are in the following instruments based on the specified bandwidth at 1 mV/div:

==Packaging of the M377==
11000 series instruments and the [[AM503A]] and [[AM503B]] use a 1.22 cm square, flat ceramic package compatible with the Hypcon connector.
The ceramic rests on a heat sink supplied by the instrument’s chassis.
 
TDS series oscilloscopes use a J lead package with a tall heat sink.  The package is soldered to the circuit board.
 
The ceramic-packaged M377 die has the following Tek part numbers:
* [[165-2129-03]]
* [[165-2129-03]]
* [[165-2089-06]]

==Output Control Signals==
The M377 has one input (differential) and three differential outputs which are identical circuits.
Each output has a its own control pins for:
* Output invert
* Output enable. When an output is disabled, it has no offset and maintains the specified termination impedance. That is, the internal parallel output termination remains connected, but the signal current is shut off. The self-calibration of 11k systems makes use of this property.
* High-frequency adjustment. The HF ADJ pins have 2 kΩ input resistance to ground. The nominally acceptable inputs are ±1 V to ground.  Because the input resistance tracks the nichrome standard resistors inside the chip, the input is actually current sensitive, not that it makes much difference. This current affects the standing current in a feedback amplifier and hence its open loop gain. At low frequencies, the gain of the M377 is determined entirely by resistor values. At high frequencies, there is phase shift and changing the open loop gain will also change the closed loop gain, hence the transient response.
==Var Gain Control Signal==
The M377 has a single VAR GAIN control input, which affects all three outputs.
This control signal has a range of −1 V to +1 V.
−1 V results in 0 gain.
+1 V results in full gain.
==165-2089-xx Pinout==
In the 11A32, 11A34, and 11A52, pairs of 165-2089-xx IC are placed on the board so that their
outputs are facing one another, allowing their outputs to be wired in parallel with a minimum
of board complexity and asymmetry.
The purpose of the three output channels varies depending on the rotational orientation of the IC on the board.
* Output 1 (pins 25 and 26) is either AUX SIG (aka AUX TRIGGER) or DISPLAY,
* Output 2 (pins 22 and 23) of all 165-2089-xx ICs are the TRIGGER signal.
* Output 3 (pins 19 and 20) is either AUX SIG (aka AUX TRIGGER) or DISPLAY.
[[File:Tek 11a52 m377 flip.jpg|500px]]
Two 165-2089-xx M377 ICs facing one another in an 11A52.
Output 1 of U310 is in parallel with output 3 of U410.
Output 3 of U310 is in parallel with output 1 of U410.
Note that in the 11A32 and 11A34, the HF ADJUST control voltages are not set identically for
the three outputs. The reason for this is that the DISPLAY and TRIGGER outputs are in parallel
with the corresponding output from another
M377, which forms a broadband termination. In contrast, the AUX SIG outputs are not combined,
and therefore have ¼ W resistors on the PCB, shunting to ground. The ¼ W resistors become
inductive at high frequencies, so the optimal HF adjustment for the AUX SIG output is different
than for the DISPLAY and TRIGGER outputs.
