Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- The ADC I am using is the AD9629-40 from Analog Devices. I believe the output drivers can be configured to interface with 1.8V to 3.3V CMOS logic families. I'll be sampling at 40MSps. --- Quote End --- Yes, according to the data sheet, the output data can be operated at 3.3V logic levels. 40MHz is relatively slow, so any FPGA can be used. I'd recommend a Cyclone series device. --- Quote Start --- I'm very interested in purchasing a software development kit that can connect to my ADC. Can you please suggest Altera's low cost FPGAs and devlopment kits that would fit the AD9629-40? --- Quote End --- Are you planning on creating a PCB or do you have the evaluation board? http://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/ad9266-80ebz_ad9649-80ebz_ad9629-80ebz_ad9609-80ebz Cheers, Dave
