12 years ago --- Quote Start --- Maybe i will change the design according to your comments. About the project, I want to design the data acquisition Card using FPGA for high speed data. --- Quote End --- Why don't you try and describe the project requirements in a little more detail? Why design a high-speed data acquisition card if you can buy one? What is the "real" objective of your masters project? That is, what are you going to measure with this high-speed ADC board? Read through the documents on this page: http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/carma_board/ This is a high-speed data acquisition card with dual 1GHz ADCs, lots of FPGAs, and a PowerPC processor. I had to design this board as I could not buy one that met my I/O requirements. Designing a board containing both analog and digital requires great attention to detail. It requires more than just slapping a few parts down and hoping it will work. Since you are a masters student, you likely do not have any experience in this area. If your advisor does not either, then your first attempt will likely fail. If you have an application that requires a data acquisition board, then buy one, and *learn* from that design. Then build your own if you need to. Cheers, Dave
