Overview

The Analog Discovery 3 is a USB-powered test and measurement device that transforms a PC into a high-performance circuit laboratory. It integrates a 2nd-generation mixed-signal oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and waveform generator into a portable aluminum enclosure featuring standard BNC and MTE interfaces. With a 125 MS/s sampling rate and 14-bit resolution, it provides professional-grade measurement capabilities for engineers and students alike.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a high 14-bit resolution and a flexible 50 MHz bandwidth in a compact, USB-powered form factor that eliminates the need for bulky benchtop equipment. Its aluminum casing and advanced cross-triggering between instruments provide a rugged and sophisticated environment for precision electrical measurement.

Applications

Mixed-Signal Circuit Debugging
Correlate 2 analog channels and 16 digital channels to troubleshoot complex microcontroller-based systems.
Power Supply Characterization
Utilize the two programmable power supplies and waveform generator to test voltage regulation and transient response.
Automated Test Systems
