Hi Dan and all

This looks very cool. There is something in the specs I don't understand:

     * Analog signal: 50 ohm single-ended configurable as three of:
         o 4 inputs at 250 Msps
         o 2 inputs at 500 Msps
         o 1 input at 1 Gsps

How many analog inputs are there to feed the ADC's? 12?

And some of them come in on the ZDOC connector? How many on board?

Sorry if the answer is obvious, I didn't find the answer myself.

hi tim,

there is a low power, low cost, roach like board under development,
called SNAP.  SNAP uses a kintex fpga,
has two 10Gbit ports,  some adc's and frequency synthesizer on board,
and one zdoc for external adc's.   info at:

best wishes,

    Roach in a balloon....

    Just an idea if some engineer wants alot of work to do. One could
    put a whole ROACH into a tiny circuit board these days using the
    new Xilinx ZYNQ chips. It is a multi-chip module w/ high end
    Xilinx and 2 ARM cores. It would of course require recompiling all
    the ROACH IP for use w/  ARM. But the resulting hardware would be
    small, and not use alot of power.  It would be a fun project.

    Has anyone flown a ROACH board on a high altitude balloon?  Did it
    work?  Did you make any engineering changes for this challenging
    environment?

    Thanks,
    Ben
