Overview

The Digilent ADP5490 is a high-performance Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) designed for professional-grade benchtop testing and automated measurement. It features four 500 MHz analog channels with 8-bit resolution and a massive 34-pin digital I/O header for logic analysis. The unit integrates a full suite of instrumentation including a waveform generator, programmable power supplies, and digital protocol analyzers into a single USB/Ethernet connected chassis.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a significant footprint reduction by replacing multiple benchtop instruments with a single unit controllable via USB 2.0 or Ethernet. Engineers benefit from high-bandwidth 500 MHz analog inputs and deep integration with the WaveForms software for advanced data visualization and scripting.

Applications

High-Speed Digital Logic Analysis
Utilizing 34 digital channels to debug complex FPGA or MCU-based systems with support for I2C, SPI, and UART protocols.
Mixed-Signal Circuit Debugging
Correlating high-speed analog waveforms with digital control signals using the 500 MHz bandwidth and 4 analog channels.
Automated Production Testing
Leveraging Ethernet connectivity and scriptable WaveForms software to automate repetitive validation tasks in a lab environment.
Embedded Power Analysis
Monitoring rail stability using the integrated programmable power supplies, capable of providing up to 6V and +/-25V outputs.

Getting Started

Connect the device via the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Type B port or Ethernet and install the Digilent WaveForms software suite. The 34-pin MTE cable can be used to interface digital signals directly to breadboards or headers, and the integrated I2C/SPI analyzers can be configured through the software GUI for immediate data capture.
