TerASIC DE3 HSTC -> AD9148

The LVDS signals on the FPGAs are unidirectional only; the IO elements have hard-IP transmit serialize or receive deserialize blocks. Its annoying, I know :)

If the HSMC connector has only 30 LVDS RX channels, then you would need two HSMC connectors to interface to both 16-bit channels plus their frame clocks.

However, the data sheets indicates a couple of modes where only one port is required. If those are adequate, then perhaps you only need to interface one of the DAC ports.

Note that Samtec sells HSMC cables that can be used to connect between boards. I'm not sure what the AD9184 board uses for a connector, but you might be able to just buy a cable to perform the adaptation, or build a simple board with two HSMC connectors, and buy a couple of Samtec cables.

Cheers,
