I'm currently working on a project based on ultrasound. I've created a pulsetransmitting board already which hooks into the zedboards FMC-LPC connector (I needed 64 high-speed channels), yet now I need to make a receiving side as well. Since returning signals are in the range of 250-300kHz, I was looking into ADCs of around 1MSps@12 or 14bits. (max. 4 channels needed)
Now is the problem that I can't find any spec on the frequency the zedboard PMODs can handle. Is it possible to have speeds of approx 20MHz or is this out of range of the (high-speed) PMOD connectors?
Would it be a better idea to make a board with a female-male connector on top of each other so I can pass the signals which need to be passed to the previous made board (as I only need a couple of its transmitting channels, stack the boards with the FMC-LPC connector) and use the other connections for an ADC board, since the FMC should be capable of higher speeds?

any thoughts?
