So I have been looking for way to send multiple analog signals through a Fiber Optic (FO) link. I need to have a sampling >= 10 MHz and >= 12bits of precision. I was told that a serial output ADC and serial input DAC is the most FO friendly way of going about this.
Just to make sure this is similar to using say a microcontroller to multiplex multiple analog signals and use an onboard ADC to send digitized data to say another microcontroller with a DAC to convert the signal to Analog?
Also if any of you have any suggestion as to what serial output ADC and serial input DAC I should look into would be greatly appreciated.
Also The FO link would have to interface the serial output of the ADC to say a DB-9 connection on the FO link?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
