JESD204 ADC Reference Design

The LatticeECP2M provides seamless support for the JESD204 specification as it relates to high speed Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs). This standard allows front-end data acquisition to reap the benefits of a low overhead, high-speed serial link to support pure data transport.

Lattice has partnered with Linear Technology to provide a reference design using the low cost LatticeECP2M FPGA, a Lattice SERDES evaluation board, and various JESD204 compliant components from Linear Technology including a 105Msps high speed ADC. This provides designers an ideal platform for a low cost, low power and small footprint solution for FPGA based serial data acquisition and processing.
