- | ===== 1.1 Architectural Overview and Block Diagram ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Analog Discovery 2's high-level block diagram is presented in [[analog_discovery_2: | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Signals in the **Analog Input** block, also called the **Scope**, use " | ||
- | |||
- | * The** Analog Inputs/ | ||
- | * **Input Divider and Gain Control**: high bandwidth input adapter/ | ||
- | * **Buffer**: high impedance buffer | ||
- | * **Driver**: provides appropriate signal levels and protection to the ADC. Offset voltage is added for vertical position setting | ||
- | * **Scope Reference and Offset**: generates and buffers reference and offset voltages for the scope stages | ||
- | * **ADC**: the analog-to-digital converter for both scope channels. | ||
- | * The **Arbitrary Outputs/ | ||
- | * **DAC**: the digital-to-analog converter for both AWG channels | ||
- | * **I/V**: current to bipolar voltage converters | ||
- | * **Out**: output stages | ||
- | * **Audio**: audio amplifiers for headphone | ||
- | * A precision **Oscillator** and a **Clock Generator** provide a high quality clock signal for the AD and DA converters. | ||
- | * The **Digital I/O** block exposes protected access to the FPGA pins assigned for the Digital Pattern Generator and Logic Analyzer. | ||
- | * The **Power Supplies and Control** block generates all internal supply voltages as well as user supply programmable voltages. The control block also monitors the device power consumption for USB compliance when power is supplied via the USB connection. When external power supply is used, the control block allows more power for the user supplies. Under the FPGA control, power for unused functional blocks can be turned off. | ||
- | * The **USB Controller** interfaces with the PC for programming the volatile FPGA memory after power on or when a new configuration is requested. After that, it performs the data transfer between the PC and FPGA. | ||
- | * The **Calibration Memory** stores all calibration parameters. Except for the “Probe Calibration” trimmers in the scope Input divider, the Analog Discovery 2 includes no analog calibration circuitry. Instead, a calibration operation is performed at manufacturing (or by the user), and parameters are stored in memory. The WaveForms software uses these parameters to correct the acquired data and the generated signals | ||

The wire kit included with the Analog Discovery 2 is a cheap, easy-to-use probing solution. However, the wire kit reduces the bandwidth of the scope and is susceptible to inducing noise and crosstalk from adjacent circuits. [[analog_discovery_2: | + | ==== Features ==== |
