Hi Jack,

I though of that, but the thing is, if I only take 1 sample per clock cycle, I'm not sure how to use a 8 input FFT and still keep the same number of output channels. Maybe I could implement serial-to-parallel block, and read the FFT every 8 cycles, but I don't know if that's an adequate (or easy to implement) solution.


I get not very informative errors when I try to compile models below 600MHz (I tried, 100MHz, 200MHz, ... , 500MHz):

Creating block object: xps_adc5g
Problem with block: test/asiaa_adc5g
: An optimum PLL solution is not available!
Backtrace 1: xps_adc5g:177
Backtrace 2: gen_xps_files:229

Backtrace 5: @(hObject,eventdata)casper_xps('run_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)):0
Error using gen_xps_files (line 242)
Error found during Object creation.


Thanks,

Franco

Hi Franco,

I don't know the low frequency limit, but for what it's worth, you could always run the adc at 320 MHz and just use 1 of the 8 outputs, which also has the benefit of avoiding and inter-core mismatch issues, since you'd effectively only be using 1 core. Or run faster and only use every Nth sample.

What error do you get when you clock below 600 MHz ADC clock?

Cheers
Jack

    Hi All,

    I'm working in an application where I need high frequency
    resolution (~10kHz). For my model this means I need to run my ADC
    at ~40MHz (and the FPGA at 5MHz). I'm not using an special memory
    block, just brams. I'm using ROACH2, and ADC5G
    (https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/ADC1x5000-8). It is possible to
    run the ADC at such low frequency? What is the minimum acceptable
    frequency? I tried to find this information in  the ADC datasheet,
    but I haven't been successful. Also tried compiling simple models
    at low frequencies, but everything below 600MHz failed.

    Thanks,

    Franco
