14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I am looking at buying the Stratix IV dev kit. It comes with 8 transceivers routed to SMA connectors, but I need 16. Is it feasible to (with a decent performance) synchronize two of this boards by using the clock input/output? Any other thoughts on what to use to get this 16 transmitters working? --- Quote End --- You mean the Stratix IV SI kit? You can also use the Stratix IV GX development kit. It has two HSMC connectors with 8 + 6 transceivers, and then the PCIe edge connector with another 8 transceivers. Samtec sells cables for HSMC-to-SMA breakout and for PCIe-to-SMA breakout. The DE4 kit could also be used. Cheers, Dave
