Ability to toggle ADC Bit Depth Between 12-bit and 8-bit #95

Open krusic22 opened 2 months ago

krusic22 commented 2 months ago

The PlutoSDR ADC defaults to 12 bits, which gets extended to 16 bits, wasting some USB bandwidth. Would it be possible to add an 8-bit mode for applications where reduced precision is worth it for the higher sample rate?

Thanks for the request.

This has been discussed several times and it is possible to do but it requires changes at a number of different places in the stack which includes HDL.

We are happy to review change requests or enhancements but its unlikely we (ADI) would implement this feature.
