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 …
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 …
Software-Defined Radio (SDR) has transformed how engineers, researchers, and educators interact with the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. By offering a flexible, programmable platform, SDRs enable rapid prototyping, experimentation, and deployment …
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 …
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 …
Ready to put your digital logic knowledge to the test? We’re excited to share a project that brings fundamental concepts like state machines and counters to life using the popular …
In a recent forum post, community member Denspa asked a great question: “Can I use two different Analog Discovery units together to increase the number of analog channels available for …
At Digilent, we believe in the power of community. Our forums are a hub where users come together to share knowledge, ask questions, and find solutions to their design challenges. …
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 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 …
Let’s talk about clocking. It’s crucial to the functionality of FPGA boards and digital design in general, as all synchronous logic depends on clocks. In this article, we’ll define some …
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 …
