No. I want to have both ADC boards be of the same type. The new concern I have is that you express doubt that the yellow blocks will sync the two ADC's on our ROACH board. If one ADC is out of sync with the other, I expect the ADC generating the FPGA clock will be in sync but the other ADC may be 9

hi ron, you must connect the sample clock generator to both adc boards in a dual adc system. to do this, you'll need a 2:1 power splitter (about $25 from minicircuits). you can purchase sample clock generators from valon technologies. the ADC2x1000-8 and ADC1x3000-8 yellow blocks will sync toget

I am sorry I didn't check my email earlier. I thought I would need a special connection between the two ADC boards for such sync. I originally planned to connect the clock to the clock inputs of both ADC boards, but then realized that one ADC could generate the FPGA clock but the other may be out o
