"The AXI AD7606x IP core can be used to interface the AD7606B, AD7606C-16, AD7606C-18, AD7605-4, AD7606, AD7606-6, AD7606-4, AD7607, AD7608 and AD7609 devices using an FPGA." Given that's what ADI calls the IP though we are stuck with it - however 'wrong' they may be :) But agreed, something to call out to keep me away from the x as well! Jonathan
