I want to build a data processing setup. I have up to 16 (later maybe 32) channels of an analog signal which will be digitalized with 1 MS/s and 10 or 12-bit.
Since the setup is for a single particle counter there will be only one set of signals with a duration of about 34 µs every 150-200 µs.
The signal processor (maybe a FPGA?) should find the maximum of each signal and put those in a vector with the length of channels I have. Which is up to 16(32).
Afterwards about 1000 of these vectors should be put together in an array to be send to a postprocessing PC via Ethernet ( about 2,56 MBits/s of data) or similar as a reasonable datapackage. Since each row in this array represents a single particle the order isn't important.
I thought about using an Arty A7. Is this FPGA suitable or can you suggest a better device to me?
Also I have the possibility to design and build ADCs at our institute. But if there is a prebuild solution from digilent it would be interesting for me, too.

Hello guys,
I'm confronted with following problem.
I want to build a data processing setup. I have up to 16 (later maybe 32) channels of an analog signal which will be digitalized with 1 MS/s and 10 or 12-bit.
Since the setup is for a single particle counter there will be only one set of signals with a duration of about 34 µs every 150-200 µs.

Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
