New ADC from Analog Devices

[wb4jfi]

There's been some discussion over on the openHPSDR group about this for 
the last few days.  It looks very interesting, I hope the price does 
come down some, once it gets used in designs.  I see that they will also 
have an eval board, $300 in 100-qty.  It would be really fun to get an 
eval board, and play with this puppy!  I hope that actual prices are not 
much more than the 100-qty, but they are usually at least twice as much 
for single units.

Using an Si570 (LVDS version) for the clock, or possibly the recommended 
ADC part, plus the recommended ADC front-end chip would be nice, I hope 
one or both parts are on the eval board.

Playing with one of these, followed by either an FPGA board, or 
Beagle/devkit8000, etc could be a huge leap forward.

Thanks Mike.
