Fast DACs usually have differential current outputs. Properly converting that to a clean single-ended signal is a little tricky.
This looks good:
The AD8130 is a cool amp. It has two differential inputs and the output is the sum of the two diff inputs. (One gotcha is that the inputs are only linear up to 2 volts or so.)
I need maybe 2.5 MHz overall bandwidth, so I started with a 3-pole
2.75 MHz Bessel filter. Then I added C1 to gobble DAC glitches and add another lowpass pole, which necessitated tweaking the LC filter a bit. This case is simple enough that a little guesswork and Spicing got the step response back to looking nice.This is the situation where we'll grossly over-clock the DAC, 120 MHz maybe, and dither the data to improve resolution and linearity.
