A discussion of how ground potential differences can (and will) effect oscilloscope measurements.
What do cancer research, finance, genome sequencing, driverless cars, and outer space have in common? Aside from all being fascinating applications, each of them are progressing through the use of …
“A promising new FPGA connectivity solution is here.” Steve Johnson, President, Digilent, Inc. For engineers working with FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) for high-speed control, signal processing, or test and measurement applications, a …
Our Zybo Z7 is one of the more popular FPGA Developer Boards in our arsenal, and rightfully so – it boasts a variety of peripherals surrounding the Zynq 7000 SoC …
When your fresh-faced recruits are green and bright-eyed in the early days of the academic year, the last thing you’ll want to do is spend extensive amounts of time connecting, …
Innovations in flipped classrooms, online courses, and at-home labs have added the ability to serve more students without increasing the lab space, but how do you make sure students are …
At OTH Regensburg, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiko Unold has spent years finding new ways to connect engineering theory with hands-on experimentation. By integrating the Analog Discovery platform across multiple courses, he …
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are digital devices. They can’t read a voltage directly. To bring an analog signal into an FPGA, you need an ADC, short for analog-to-digital converter. You …
UMN Students Build a Rubidium Magneto-Optical Trap POSM students are gaining hands-on experience in optics, electronics, and precision measurement while building infrastructure for advanced photonics research. Building a rubidium magneto-optical …
With no class requiring it and no board experience going in, one engineering student designed a five-stage pipelined MIPS processor from scratch in VHDL and ran it on a Digilent …
