Analog Discovery 3
The Digilent Analog Discovery 3™, featuring circuitry made by Texas Instruments, is a multi-function test and measurement device that allows users to measure, visualize, generate, record, and control mixed signal circuits of all kinds. The low-cost Analog Discovery 3 is small enough to fit in your pocket, but powerful enough to replace a stack of lab equipment, providing engineering students, hobbyists, and electronics enthusiasts the freedom to work with analog and digital circuits in virtually any environment, in or out of the lab.

Accessories
Audio Adapter+
The Audio Adapter+ is a module that allows the Analog Discovery 3 to capture and analyze audio signals from external sources and to easily connect audio signals generated by the device to audio devices like headphones and speakers. It is capable of both Mono and Stereo audio, with both types of connector connected to both the Wavegen and Scope instruments.
For more information, see the Audio Adapter+ Resource Center.
Breadboard Adapter
The Breadboard Adapter, featuring a small breadboard that connects to the Analog Discovery 3, is a way to easily set up and demonstrate portable circuits.
For more information, see the Breadboard Adapter's Resource Center.
Breadboard Breakout
The Breadboard Breakout allows the pins of the Analog Discovery 3 to be directly connected to a breadboard.
For more information, see the Breadboard Breakout's Resource Center.
BNC Adapter
The BNC Adapter allows standard BNC-terminated test leads and probes to be used with the Analog Discovery 3, improving the device's bandwidth to 30+ MHz.
For more information, see the BNC Adapter's Resource Center.
Current and Power Adapter
The Current and Power Adapter lets users visualize current, voltage, and power in DC and AC circuits. It's particularly effective at enabling measurements like average current, reactive power, the phase shift of current relative to voltage, and more.
For more information, see the Current and Power Adapter's Resource Center.
Impedance Analyzer
The Impedance Analyzer Adapter for the Analog Discovery 3 makes WaveForms' Impedance Analyzer instrument easier to use by providing the reference resistors and relays required for the instrument's use. The appropriate reference circuit for the analysis is automatically selected.
For more information, see the Impedance Analyzer's Resource Center.
Transistor Tester
The Transistor Tester Adapter for the Analog Discovery 3 expands the use of WaveForms' Tracer instrument. This device provides a set of relays and connectors to let you analyze the characteristics of discrete semiconductor devices like diones, NPN and PNP transistors, as well as P-Type and N-Type FETs.
For more information, see the Transistor Tester's Resource Center.
