Interesting, I have not used Xilinx FPGAs - you mean the e.g. Spartan=20
series have no LVDS capable models?
With Actel (now Microsemi) the ProASIC3 250K gate which I'm currently=20
using is ~=A310 and has LVDS/LVPECL available.
Surely there are some cheap(ish) offerings from Altera or Lattice also -=20
need to check all this myself as I would like to have more options FPGA=20
wise, looked at/thinking of grabbing one of the "universal" programmers=20
e.g. Amontec JTAGkey (I think that's the name, been a while since I=20
looked, anyway something along those lines that avoids buying each=20
separate programmer - that one does various ARM MCUs too IIRC)
