10 years ago --- Quote Start --- I want to use the FPGA to realize the goal of high speed counter,which can count 10G pulse per second. Would you please tell me which series of the altera can make it ? How to realise this goal ?thank you. --- Quote End --- So, the first question is purely limitations-- are you looking at, in realtime, counting pulses that are at 10 GHz? You're basically entering RF land or major over-sampling, or you're looking at doing something with high-speed transceivers to convert a 10G signal in to something going slow enough that it can be processed. In short, what are you looking for? A counter? A transceiver to send signals? An RF system? or something else all together? http://hackaday.com/2014/06/29/counting-really-really-fast-with-an-fpga/ You can sample a faster signal to get an idea and do processing, but I at least would need more information to figure out what is going on. Just saying a 10G counter really isn't enough because, in short, I think there is only one chip out there that can even run at a 10 GHz clock speed, and I don't think it's in the general market.
