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 …
We recently published a whitepaper “Precision Debugging with the Analog Discovery Pro (ADP2230)”. This whitepaper was originally going to be using the Analog Discovery 3, however, as can be seen …
In the spirit of the holidays, this is some plain-old fun. We’ve talked about video games implemented in FPGAs before – https://digilent.com/blog/?s=game – but what about the other way around? …
A no frills blog post on the hardware features of the Analog Discovery 3 in less than 350 words for those of you that don’t have time for extra words. …
This post describes a senior design project that students at North Carolina State University (NCSU) worked on, in which the Analog Discovery 2 (AD2) is equipped with extra features tailored …
At some point during a FPGA engineers’ career, they will be faced with a difficult bug in their VHDL or Verilog code and they’ll ask themselves: “Why are we stuck …
Why Does FPGA Form Factor Matter? For electronics, the conventional definition of form factor is the size, shape, and physical features or specifications of electronic hardware components. Hence, every item …
Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Arch Linux-Based Project This paper will provide a step-by-step guide to build from ground up a Genesys ZU development board-based hardware and software project that …
There are plenty of data acquisition devices under $400, and the best choice depends on what you’re measuring. For general-purpose analog input, the MCC USB-1208FS-Plus ($204) is the classroom-standard 12-bit, …
When Digilent announced LabVIEW WaveForms Toolkit 2.0 earlier this month, a few additions stood out. Pattern Generator and Logic Analyzer support give students access to more of their Analog Discovery …
Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope vs. Digital Storage Oscilloscope A mixed-signal oscilloscope, or MSO, combines the analog channels of a digital storage oscilloscope, or DSO, with digital logic-analyzer channels in one instrument. A …
Every FPGA development workflow depends on several connected pieces: a programming and debugging interface, a design environment, expansion hardware, and the accessories needed to connect and power the system. Many …
