12 years agoconnect Altera FPGA to ADC with serial LVDS interface
Is there an app note on how to connect Altera FPGA (preferably Stratrix IV or V) to ADCs with high-speed serial LVDS interface (e.g. Analog device AD9637)? I'm quite new to high speed ADCs and DAC...

12 years ago --- Quote Start --- On this same subject, is there a way to interface a 12 bit resolution ADC with serial-LVDS output to an Altera FPGA? Altera FPGA SERDES, however, can only deseriallize up to 10 bits.
