Hi, I am using Xilinx XADC IP core for FFT operation and I have a couple of questions on the XADC sampling rate. Question 1) I would like to have the sampling rate at 1 MSPS but for a 100 MHz clock the XADC actual conversion rate is 961.54 KSPS. Same is for 50 MHz. I realized that for 104 MHz of DCLK clock the conversion rate is 1000 KSPS but implementing this clock from clocking wizard IP resulted in timing failure during implementation. (This is another problem if you have any inputs on how to tackle it) So I settled for 100 MHz clock and expected a 961.54 KSPS sampling rate. If I am not wrong the FFT resolution should be 961.54*10^3/4096 (for a 4096 point FFT). Backtracking from the scope, it appears that there is an offset from the expected sampling rate. Example: While 23.5 KHz is expected to fall in the 100th bin it falls in 111th bin. The sampling rate (computed from the FFT resolution formula - observing output) would be around 870 KSPS. Question 2) Would the sampling rate change if I use a 50 MHz DCLK clock instead of 100 MHz? The IP core indicates that the actual sampling rate would be 961.54 KSPS (same as that with 100 MHz clock) but I observed a shift in FFT output yet again. This time the sampling rate (computed from the FFT resolution formula) falls around 835 KSPS. Please help! P.S. - In my design I used a AXI-4 stream register slice as a pipeline stage to account for latency involved in multiplication and addition operations on the FFT output so that the signals from xfft_0 appear at the same time as the data. Frames are sent at the same rate (100MHz) at which the FFT is operated => BRAM read frequency = FFT CLK = 100 MHz. 3) Question on FFT: My FFT output appears to be almost as expected (except for the constant offset in frequency bins). After every 4095th bin there is a repetition of bin value 4080, (for a certain interval, until next 0) and I with a peak at this value. I do not understand the reason behind this. Please provide some insight on this as well.

Hello, I have seen a lot of contradictory information online regarding the sampling frequency of the Analog Discovery 2 ADC channel. Is it possible to sample at around 30 MHz for 20s and store the data in a csv for example with a time stamp? Second Is it possible to run several processes on the board simultaneously such as: 1) 2x analog read and data storage 2) motor control 3) Waveform generator assumming I have enough cores on my computer to run there respective programs.

Hello, For a project in one of my courses my adviser asked me to find a way to control the sample rate and record length in the Analog Discovery in order to understand how to use the FFT module. Thank you, cjobi247

Hi. I would like to know, if it is possible to modify the sampling frequency, the number of samples of the ADC of the card Nexys 4 DDR ?. I know there are modes of use, but these depend on the registers but do not allow manipulation of these parameters. If you can, I would be grateful if you could tell me how it is possible.
