Academic Products

Collaborating with educators from around the world, Digilent has taken feedback to create learning tools that can work in multiple academic disciplines. In analog and circuits courses, portable test devices equipped with our popular WaveForms software allow students to use multiple test instruments (both input and output) on their PC or Mac while giving freedom and flexibility to complete projects either in the classroom or work on them at home. Digilent’s FPGA development boards (based on AMD chips) give hands-on application experience in digital and computer architecture courses by providing multiple I/O and peripheral connection options. All of Digilent’s education offerings can be extrapolated past graduation and the same skills can be applied in almost any professional setting.

Tools for Teaching Circuits

Digilent Analog Discovery products are versatile, USB-powered devices that bring the functionality of professional-grade test and measurement equipment into the hands of students and professors. Acting as oscilloscopes, waveform generators, logic analyzers, and more, these compact tools allow users to perform real-time measurements and analyze signals directly from their computers. Combined with Digilent's free WaveForms software, the Analog Discovery series enables hands-on experimentation with analog and digital circuits in classrooms, labs, or even remote learning environments.

Tools for Teaching Digital Logic and Design

For professors, the Analog Discovery simplifies instruction by offering a portable, cost-effective solution that supports a wide range of electrical engineering and physics experiments. Students benefit by gaining practical experience with tools they will encounter in industry—learning to capture waveforms, measure signal properties, and troubleshoot circuits using an oscilloscope and other integrated instruments. This immersive, software-driven learning approach bridges theory with practice, enhancing both understanding and engagement in STEM education.
