Overview

The Digilent Analog Discovery 3 (410-415) is a high-resolution, multi-function USB test and measurement device that transforms a PC into a powerful circuit laboratory. It features a 14-bit dual-channel oscilloscope with a 125 MS/s sample rate and +/-25V input range, alongside an arbitrary waveform generator, logic analyzer, and power supply.

Why Choose This Part

The Analog Discovery 3 offers professional-grade 14-bit resolution and a comprehensive suite of instruments including a spectrum analyzer and lock-in amplifier in a pocket-sized form factor. It provides flexible power options via USB-C or an external supply, supporting up to 800mA of output current for powering circuits under test.

Applications

Embedded Systems Debugging
Simultaneously monitor analog sensor signals and digital communication protocols like SPI, I2C, and UART to find timing issues.
Filter and Network Analysis
Utilize the built-in network analyzer to characterize the frequency response of active and passive filters up to 9 MHz.
Automated Production Testing
Leverage the WaveForms SDK and Python scripting to create automated pass/fail test fixtures for PCBA verification.
Power Supply Characterization
Measure ripple, noise, and transient response of DC-DC converters using the high-resolution 14-bit analog inputs.
