Analog Devices acknowledges the valuable contribution of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ETTI), Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (UTCN), to the development and validation of the hardware platform used in this reference design. This collaboration highlights the importance of industry-academia partnerships in developing innovative and effective engineering education solutions.

Overview

The AD-M2KCOMPEDU-EBZ is an ADALM2000 companion board for hands-on electronics education. It combines a standalone arbitrary waveform generator, onboard supplies, adjustable references, sensing, user controls, display support, and CAN communication into one compact USB-powered platform.
