Digilent Digital Discovery™ is a combined logic analyzer and pattern generator that was designed to be the ultimate embedded development companion. The Digital Discovery features a small form factor, facilitating portability and easy storage. Digital Discovery provides a suite of advanced features to allow the user to debug, visualize, and simulate digital signals for most embedded projects. The Included Digital Discovery High-Speed Adapter and impedance-matched probes can also be used to connect and utilize the inputs and outputs for more advanced projects.
The High-Speed Adapter connects to a 32-pin connector on the Digital Discovery and offers an alternative to the default 2×16 flywire assembly. It provides access for up to 24 High-Speed Logic Probes and allows increased sample rates for up 800MS/s on the Digital Discovery. The High-Speed Adapter is not keyed, and both orientations can be used as the twisted wires are not color-coded.
The Digital Discovery is driven by the free WaveForms (3.5.4 or later) software and can be configured to be any of the below instruments:
- 32-channel digital logic analyzer (1.2V to 3.3V CMOS, 8 channels at 800MS/s, 16 channels at 400MS/s, and 32 channels at 200MS/s)
- Digital Bus Analyzers (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Parallel)
- 16-channel pattern generator (1.2V to 3.3V CMOS, 100MS/s)
- 16-channel virtual digital I/O including buttons, switches, and LEDs
- A programmable power supply of 1.2V to 3.3V/100mA
Note: to obtain speeds of 200MS/s and higher, the High-Speed Adapter must be used.
The Digital Discovery was designed for anyone embarking on embedded development. Its features and specifications were deliberately chosen to maintain a small and portable form factor, withstand use in a variety of environments, and keep costs down while balancing the requirements of operating on USB Power.
