FPGA to High speed ADC Data streaming Marco Gottardo

Where does the content of this book apply? Firstly in research institutes where it is necessary to acquire data in streaming at high speed and low noise especially in the lower part of the spectrum. For example the current machines for the study of nuclear fusion does not produce energy, and their output is substantially a large amount of data. The accuracy of the data collected, and their density within narrow temporal samples, can determine the effectiveness of the real time control systems to install in future reactors. We set ourselves the objective to design and test a high-speed and high-density data acquisition system based on the latest generation FPGA technologies. in the book is used the latest products released by Xilinx to design a acquire stream system of signals from generic probes (specifically magnetic probes). The Zynq 7000 family is nowadays state of the art of sistemy SoC that integrating a powerful and extensive FPGA section with an ARM mullticore.
