ADC08B3000RB--synchronize sampling?

TI Lady

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADC083000, ADC08B3000

I want to connect 3 receive antennas to 3 of these ADC08B3000RB boards.
Can the sampling be synchronized?
How hard is it to talk to 3 of the EVM’s at once and import the data?

Thanks!

Hi Amy

The ADC08B3000RB evaluation tool is intended to allow customers to evaluate the performance of the ADC device. Unfortunately, the board does not support precision control of the start of data capture to the on-chip 4k-sample buffer. Therefore it won't be possible to synchronize the data capture across multiple boards.

One option might be to purchase commercially available data acquisition modules based on the ADC08B3000 (4k buffer with CMOS data outputs) or ADC083000 (continuous LVDS outputs) device. Several of our customers have modules available with two ADC083000 devices on-board. Combining 2 of these modules would provide what you need.

I hope this is helpful.

Best regards,

Jim B
