Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI: NASDAQ) today announced the
availability of a low-cost hardware-software solution focusing on
circuit testing designed for the engineering education market. This
offering combines MATLAB software and Analog Devices’ Digilent
Analog Discovery Design kits, enabling students to experiment
quickly and easily with advanced technologies and build, test and
analyze real-world, functional analog design circuits anytime –
anywhere – for the price of a textbook. The Analog Discovery Design
Kit costs $99 USD. Students can access MATLAB by purchasing a
MATLAB Student Version license or through a site license that may
be available from their university. Watch the ADI University

“The combination of MATLAB and the Analog Devices’ Digilent
design kits provides a very flexible, powerful learning solution,”
said Kathleen Meehan, Associate Professor in the Bradley Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech. “I don’t
need to maintain a traditional large lab for my engineering
students. Instead, students complete experiments after class, where
and when they want with the analog design kit and analyze the data
and write lab reports with MATLAB.”
MATLAB and ADI Analog Discovery Integration
MATLAB and the Data Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for
Analog Discovery hardware allow students to acquire signals
directly from the Analog Discovery as well as filter and analyze
data. This integration allows students to develop a deeper
understanding of the circuits they are building and reinforces
MATLAB skills they are already learning in other classes. Each
Analog Discovery is the size of a deck of cards, portable and
features two oscilloscopes, two waveform generators, two power
supplies and a logic analyzer. The Analog Discovery is manufactured
by Digilent, Inc., and powered by Analog Devices components.
