$1000. Much cheaper to use many slower ADCs in parallel. Or put your entropy directly into a Schmidt trigger, etc. since you don't care about any of the specs that make ADCs so complicated.
- cycomanic 5y agoWhere do you get that price from? We have been trying to source high speed ADCs for some experiments and it's virtually impossible to get anything above 5 GS/s and prices are more than an order of magnitude higher than what you state.
- tails4e 5y agoRFSoC is an fpga with high speed ADCs and DACs integrated, 8 5Gsps ADC, and 16 10 GSPS DACs in a single device, and less than 1000 bucks IIRC, though not sure on volume (i.e. If you can buy single parts)
