ADC3660: ADC3660 - Xilinx build required for 8 devices

Part Number: ADC3660

Help needed

 

We have made a board 8 x ADC3600 with a FMC connection, connected to a Xilinx AC701

 

 The first ADC3660 has the FCLK, the other 7 are data only

 

 When I grab data from the first ADC3660 - it looks good

 The other ADC3660 return good data, but only after a bad read of data. I.e., in the data stream in the HSDC pro - If I use 4 channels, 2 of the channels will be rubbish and 2 good (2 channel mode = just rubbish, yet okay on the first ad3660 with the FCLK)I

Xilinx build

My issue is, it that I would now like to read data from all the ADCs at once.

The example build has an option ADC_L in the ADC if IP block. This builds okay, but I'm not seeing the data correctly, plus it gives a small timing error.

It looks like the data isn't being written to BRAM correctly.

I  also added in the ‘Sync’ option, but that doesn’t seem to do anything. How should the chips be synchronised together?

Also:

On the clock, the data sheet says common mode voltage of .9 but when AC coupled, we have a common mode voltage of 1.1 – which is the same as the EVM board. I admit it seems happy as it is.

Many thanks
