Hi everyone,

I'm seeing some strange behavior in the ADC block in 10.1 that's part of a
DDC design I'm working on. The board is the "classic" iADC (ADC2x1000-8).
The input clock 400 MHz, the iBOB is running at 100 MHz and interleave mode
is turned off. I put a SNAP block directly on the output of the ADC by
concatenating the four 8-bit samples.
The output traces a sine wave except that samples i2 and i4 are a constant,
namely 32 for the I input and about 66 for the Q input when I changed my
model to get data second input. I've done several captures, and it's always
the same value and always i2 and i4. I don't think it's an issue with the
snapshot because looking at the output of the mixer also shows that the
second and fourth data streams are constant.
Could this be an issue with demultiplexing in the ADC?

Glenn, several months ago you mentioned that you were having trouble with
the DDC in 10.1 and captured data ADC from the ADC directly. Did you see
this problem with i2 and i4? (And btw, I'm also getting the strange mirrored
output, but that'll probably be another email.)

Here are a couple lines of my data (first column is sample number; ignore
the columns with zeros; column 4 is the signed version of column 2):
