14 years agoIs the AD/DA converter Cyclone 3 starter kit compatible
Hello, I am looking for a high speed DAC and found this 14 bit 250 MSPS DAC. Here is the link: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=73&no=360&partno=2...

14 years agoThe Cyclone FPGAs can also handle CMOS or LVTTL inputs/outputs, so can be used with almost any ADC/DAC on the market. Giving an exact reference is difficult without knowing your requirement, but you can go on a manufacturer web site and do a parametric search to find the converter you need.
As long as its I/O is compatible with one of the I/O standards on the FPGA then you can use it. You may have to write some HDL yourself to interface with some ADC/DAC, depending on the interface type and your requirements. But this code to write isn't very complicated.
