12 years ago --- Quote Start --- It was actually wonderful of you to throw some ideas. Throughout our brainstorming sessions, none of us found out about the upcoming JEDEC standard.. Thanks for the heads up. Embedding the frame clock within the signal could be tricky in that case. Lets hope the IC manufacturers handle these issues. The main benefit of using ADCs designed for a specific purpose is this. They cater the common configurations and problems faced in that specifc application within the IC. Like the phase shifts you mention. Vendors usually cater for common clocks and daisy chain configurations of IC's which ensures (to a reasonable extent of accuracy) the phase margins between the signals. AD9671, an 8-channel ADC for Ultrasound applications is coming soon. The preview page shows : "the ADC contains several features designed to maximize flexibility and minimize system cost, such as a programmable clock, data alignment, and programmable digital test pattern generation. The digital test patterns include built-in fixed patterns, built-in pseudo random patterns, and custom user-defined test patterns entered via the serial port interface." The DE3(Stratix III) does not have any transceivers. Would have simplified a lot of things if it did.. Thanks, Zubair --- Quote End --- Hello, Why didn't you think about Linera Tech's LTM9010/9009/9011?
