Forum Post: AFE5808/HSMC-ADC-bridge compatibility

Hi there

I'm looking at using the AFE5808 connected to Altera's DE3 via the HSMC-ADC-Bridge.

Firstly, I'm just checking that the 5808 and the hsmc-adc-bridge are compatible?.... From what I can see the 5808 has the QTH-060-01-L-D-A connector and the bridge board has the QSH-060-01-L-D-A connector, so they should be compatible.

Secondly, the Altera DE3 has HSTC connectors rather than HSMC connectors. As far as I understand the HSTC connectors are compatible with HSMC daughter cards as long as the I/O standards for HSMC connected pins are according to the High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) specification. Can you confirm that this is the case for the HSMC-ADC-Bridge?

Thanks in advance
