Introduction

With the trend toward ever more precise waveform generation using DSP synthesis and digital-to-analog conversion, such as with the LTC1668 16-bit, 50Msps DAC, increasing demands are being placed on the output amplifier. In some applications, the DAC current-to-voltage function is simply resistive, though this is limited to small-signal situations. The more common solution is to use an amplification or a transimpedance stage to provide larger usable scale factors or level shifting. ...
