Hello.
My area of interest is high speed data acquisition.I'd like to connect a quad or octal high speed ADC (serial LVDS output) running at speeds from say 25 MSPS to 125 MSPS per channel.
For the quad serial LVDS output ADC , need about 20 output lines. I saw on the following link (http://www.gizmosphere.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/AMD_GIZMO2_Development_Board_Schematic.pdf) a block diagram of the Gizmo2, which appears to have only 8 GPIO lines.
wonder how it might be possible to use the PCIe edge connectors or SATA connectors to interface the ADC to the Gizmo2.
Maybe it's simply not possible to interface such ADCs directly to Gizmo2 and instead will require a seperate FPGA board, some high speed ADC board custom design to interface with the FGPA board and then try and interface the combined FPGA + ADC module to the Gizmo. Getting rather complicated.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this please.
Thanks.
Regards,
Will.
