The Analog Discovery 2 is retired and no longer for sale in our store. We recommend migrating to the Analog Discovery 3

The Digilent Analog Discovery 2™, developed in conjunction with Analog Devices®, is a multi-function instrument that allows users to measure, visualize, generate, record, and control mixed signal circuits of all kinds. The low-cost Analog Discovery 2 is small enough to fit in your pocket, but powerful enough to replace a stack of lab equipment, providing engineering students, hobbyists, and electronics enthusiasts the freedom to work with analog and digital circuits in virtually any environment, in or out of the lab.

Accessories

Breadboard Adapter

The Breadboard Adapter, featuring a small breadboard that connects to the Analog Discovery 2, is a way to easily set up and demonstrate portable circuits.
For more information, see the Breadboard Adapter's Resource Center.

Breadboard Breakout

The Breadboard Breakout allows the pins of the Analog Discovery 2 to be directly connected to a breadboard.
For more information, see the Breadboard Breakout's Resource Center.

BNC Adapter

The BNC Adapter allows standard BNC-terminated test leads and probes to be used with the Analog Discovery 2.
For more information, see the BNC Adapter's Resource Center.

Current and Power Adapter

The Current and Power Adapter lets users visualize current, voltage, and power in DC and AC circuits. It's particularly effective at enabling measurements like average current, reactive power, the phase shift of current relative to voltage, and more.
For more information, see the Current and Power Adapter's Resource Center.

Impedance Analyzer

The Impedance Analyzer Adapter for the Analog Discovery 2 makes WaveForms' Impedance Analyzer instrument easier to use by providing the reference resistors and relays required for the instrument's use. The appropriate reference circuit for the job is automatically selected.
For more information, see the Impedance Analyzer's Resource Center.

Audio Adapter

The Audio Adapter, using the WaveForms' Oscilloscope instrument, provides the feature to analyze audio signals from external sources. It has one Mono and one Mono/Stereo 3.5mm Audio Jack connector to facilitate the interface with external audio generators.
For more information, see the Audio Adapter's Resouce Center.
