TSW3070EVM: Amplifier Interface to Current Sink DAC - Arbitrary Waveform
Generator Demonstration
A low-pass filter (LPF) is between the DAC outputs and the OPA695, THS3091, and THS3095. This
prevents any higher frequency DAC images from affecting performance of the amplifiers. The wide
bandwidth OPA695 is typically operated at lower gains with smaller output swings with a wider input LPF,
about 200 MHz. The THS3095 is normally operated at larger gains (larger feedback resistor) and larger
output swings which results in narrower output bandwidth. Consequently, the LPF for the THS3091 and
THS3095 is set lower at 100 MHz. Both LPFs are 50-
Ω
differential, fifth-order Chebyshev filters with a 0.1-
dB ripple. Filter design can be done according to application report
