I am gearing up to build a "digital sampling oscilliscope" which connects to the parallel printer port of an IBM PC. My idea is to clock a high-speed flash ADC into a static RAM chip. After a "frame" worth of data are thus collected, they are transferred to the PC at lower rate for subsequent display, etc. I am looking at the CA3306D converter which can hum along at 15 MHz. So, this will be my target clock rate, with lower rates available by dividing the clock down. I would love to hear advice from anybody who has tried such a project, or who has good ideas.... f. deck
