Hi,
I want to build a dvi to lvds konverter. Betweeen there two busses, I have a 24 bit parallel bus. Eventually I want to do some signal processing with the parallel data too. Will an FPGA be fast enough for this task?
regards, Ben

I designed a 16b datapath running @120MHz for a Xilinx Spartan-3 XC3S1000-FT256-4 (the slowest one) w/o any problem as long as you use a good VHDL synthesizer. The FPGA does not cost more than a few 10s$. So It's possible. Notice however that multipliers are scarce ressources for FPGA. Video processing w/ its trend to use // implementations (to sustain the sample rate) can require many of them if you don't take this constraints into account from the very beginning.
