That's where the mistake is. I know for a fact from working with a startup that FPGA prices at distributors are typically over 10x what you get direct from Xilinx at even small batch quantities, and ADCs may be similar.

Yes... but can you deal with Xilinx or AD directly if you're a small fish (regardless of batch quantities)?

OwO:
ADI probably not, but in my experience Chinese chip vendors are more open to talking to random small businesses, so I'm going to investigate that direction first.

i'm glad if you can share where we can get GSps ADC and parts etc at 1/10X of digikey, it will surely make diy/os designs bloom.

Define small fish :D AFAIK no matter you are small or big fish - quarterly volume and ability to commit to your agreements matters. If interested - ask: https://www.xilinx.com/about/contact/contact-sales.html

Sarcasm aside, I'd be interested in any such results. I tried searching on LSCS and such but couldn't find any.
