No, if you are trying to display square pixels, the rise time is important.

        And displaying square pixels is _really_ important.  We can't get a
fair evaluation of OGA without that.

Understood.  But I think we'll have bandwidth that exceeds the 3rd
harmonic anyhow.

We are talking about the HiRes head here.

I hope that I now have this correct. The pixel rate is 500 MHz so the maximum fundamental video frequency is 250 MHz and the 3rd harmonic is then 750 MHz. The frequency response should be basically flat to 750 MHz.

So, if we intend to have 500 MHz dot clock frequency, the video buffer amps do not really have enough bandwidth with a gain of 2. The ths3201 spec is 850 MHz -3dB. This could be improved by increasing the input current of the DAC and reducing the gain of the amp.

With a current feedback amp, you can also do peaking by reducing the value of the feedback resistor slightly.

However, it appears that the Burr Brown OPA695 would be a better choice for a gain of 2 -- the spec is 1.4 GHz -3 dB.

We could do a better by running with a gain of 1 and differential input. This is what is recommended for the DAC. But, this is problematic with a current feedback amp.
