Here's a little digitizer box
and the thermal image of same
The hot chip at the target is an LTC2242-12 12-bit ADC being clocked at 250 MHz. The bigger chip below is an Altera EP3C5F256 FPGA.
What amazed me is that we can actually get reliable data at 250 MHz, and process it, in a cheap FPGA. And that the FPGA isn't getting very hot. A 2 ns clock-data error would trash this data.
