Digilent’s WaveForms software includes a small built-in FPGA utility, which is used to configure (program) the FPGA on supported Digilent boards directly from within WaveForms. If you’ve been around for …
Does measurement still matter? Engineering has always been shaped by its tools. From early lab instruments to modern software and test systems, the way engineers observe, verify, and evaluate their …
Digital design education has long relied on simulation to introduce foundational concepts such as Boolean logic, sequential circuits, and finite state machines. While simulation is essential, it does not fully …
Engineering education evolves quickly, but some fundamentals never go out of style. Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been a training ground for generations of engineers because they teach students how …
In industrial environments, unplanned downtime isn’t just inconvenient, it’s expensive. Equipment failures can halt production, compromise safety, and disrupt operations. While traditional maintenance strategies like reactive repair or scheduled servicing …
Seven-segment displays are a classic tool in digital electronics, used to show numerical data in everything from clocks to calculators. At Digilent, we like to integrate these displays into our …
At Digilent, we’re proud to support educators and students around the world in bringing digital design concepts to life. One recent example comes from Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey, where …
Hi there Digilent Blog readers! I’m Dr. Brian Faulkner, professor of Electrical Engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where I teach introductory circuit theory and power …
SPICE simulations are the tool of choice for engineers when designing analog or mixed-signal circuits. Multisim Live from Digilent as browser-based simulator makes this task easy and with the Analog …
If you’re ready to dive into VHDL and bring your digital design ideas to life, our Getting Started with VHDL guide on the Digilent Reference site is the perfect starting …
Digilent: Your Partner in Education As another academic year kicks off, Digilent is excited to support educators and students alike in their pursuit of engineering excellence. We believe that hands-on …
Digilent recently announced the release of two new members of the Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series, the ADP5470 and ADP5490, which are both four-channel mixed-signal oscilloscopes offering substantially higher bandwidths …
The Question A Digilent forum user working on a vintage computing project needed to troubleshoot hardware built around a 6502 CPU. Their goal was to extract the CPU’s address and …
Hello readers, Oscar Fonseca here, product manager at Emerson, working closely with our NI and Digilent academic customers. In this blog, I’m going to compare the NI ELVIS III and the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max). As someone who …
NI USB oscilloscopes have a strong track record. If your workflow specifically depends on NI‑SCOPE driver features, InstrumentStudio, or formal calibration services, then NI’s modular instruments are the right path. For most prototyping, research, and validation teams, the Analog …
If you have ever pushed the bandwidth higher on an instrument and thought, “Why does this look worse now?” you are not alone. Many engineers run into this when they try to …
