Hello, I'm having a problem connecting a Xilinx XUP board with an ADC board. The scheme is very simple, from XUP board I send a clock (20MHz) to the ADC board that sends back 16bit parallel samples and a clock (20MHz). These signals (1.8V) enter to the low speed connector of the Xup board. The cable I chosed for the connection between boards is an ATA-133 cable. Actually, that cable is causing the problem because signas at the output of ADC pins are good but, if I look at them at the end of the cable, they are corrupted (clock is very bad). I think that cable has too high capacitance to be driven from the ADC board buffers. Could you suggest me another kind of cable that I can use with the XUP low speed connector? Using single cables would be better (I think no but...)? Could I do something to make things better using the ATA-133 cable? Thank you in advance. Bye Giovanni
