Honored Contributorhow to connect analog input directly to FPGA Altera board?
hi;
I want to implement Sigma Delta ADC on Altera DE1, i wrote the code and run on QuartusII; now i want to know is it possible to connect the analog input directly to the board? as in my code the input is introduced as signed [7:0] so my original analog input should be converted to the type signed [7:0] before enter the altera cycloneII core is this conversion possible on the board? at the end how can i get my digital output from the board and analyze it? your guidance is very appreciated. thank you12 Replies
Altera_Forumthanks linas..
you mean i need an off-chip ADC to capture my analog signal signal to FPGA? so any ADC suggested for this effort?- Altera_Forum
You need an additional analog to digital converter to capture your analog signal to FPGA. Perhaps you should implement some module in VHDL/Verilog to emulate your analog input? You can analyze your design with Altera's Signal Tap or send the values of interest to PC via RS232 as more advanced option.
