Overview
The Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series devices, the ADP5250, ADP5470, and ADP5490, are Digilent’s most ambitious
mixed signal oscilloscopes to date, bringing higher sample rates, wider bandwidth, and more power to yourbenchtop.
Classifying the three ADP5000 devices as ‘just’ mixed signal oscilloscopes would be doing them a disservice. Each
product sports an integrated CAT II Digital Multimeter, three programmable power supplies, a dedicated triggerline, and arbitrary waveform generator to complement the mixed signal oscilloscope. With 34 digital inputs
operating at 1 GS/s working in tandem with the analog system, the rugged 5000 Series devices provide a range of
bandwidths and sample rates for analog inputs to fit your needs – from a base of 100 MHz at 1 GS/s, to 350 MHz at
1.5 GS/s, all the way up to 500 MHz at 2 GS/s.
Driven by Digilent’s free WaveForms software and with everything included with a one-time purchase of the
hardware, the Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series is more than just a tool – it’s analysis uncompromised.

Digilent's WaveForms software offers a unified device experience across all our Test and Measurement devices,
enabling use of all hardware features and instruments. It features a friendly user interface that has the feel of
traditional benchtop devices. WaveForms makes it easy to acquire, visualize, analyze, produce, and reuse both
analog and digital signals simultaneously.
For even more customization potential, the WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to createcustom applications and scripts to control the T&M device in Python, C, and additional languages.
The Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series is compatible with the Windows version of WaveForms.

2.1

Oscilloscope

The Oscilloscope instrument captures analog input data
via the analog input scope channels. When this instrument
is used, each of the Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series
analog input channels act as an 8-bit oscilloscope,providing up to 500 MHz of bandwidth at 2 GS/s with the
ADP5490. Multiple triggering modes are supported.

2.2

Waveform Generator

The Waveform Generator instrument can output analog
voltage waveforms. The Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series
devices support simple waveforms like Sine and Triangle
waves as well as custom sets of samples can be defined by
the user in applications like Excel and imported to
WaveForms.

2.3

Power Supplies

The Analog Discovery Pro 5000 Series have three variable
power supply rails that can be used to power circuits
under test – a 0 to 6 V rail, a 0 V to 25 V rail, and a 0 V to
-25 V rail. The ADP5250 can supply up to 1 A on the 6 V rail
and 500 mA on each ±25 V rail. The ADP5470 and
ADP5490 can supply 3 A on the 6 V rail and 1 A on each
±25 V rail.
