ADC+FPGA+DAC setup for predistortion

Hi Rosanah,

--- Quote Start ---

I am looking to buy the ADC12J4000EVM and DAC38J84EVM from TI. Both have an FMC connector and JESD204B interface. I am looking for a setup for predistortion and I would like to if there are any altera FPGA's that can communicate with both the dac and adc simultaneously.

Altera and TI's JESD204B support is still very new.

According to TI's documentation, their FMC interface is not completely "standard" (I haven't looked in detail at the differences).

You'd be better off sticking with TI's Arria V GZ development kit

I looked at using the Kaya Instruments HSMC-to-FMC adapter, but the connector is missing various signals.

Since the TI kit has only one FMC site, you will need two of the boards to test your two devices.

I have one of the TI Arria V GZ kits and the ADS42JB69 JESD204B board. I have not yet started to use them, however, I'm happy to share whatever I get working, eg., custom HDL configurations and control software.

Cheers,

Dave
