What is ADALM2000?

Active Learning Module 2000, abbreviated as "ADALM2000."

The name may not ring a bell, but in a nutshell, it is a "portable laboratory."

First of all, what is needed for electronic circuit evaluation?

What do you prepare when checking the operation of a circuit or debugging it?

I think I will use various equipment such as an oscilloscope, stabilized power supply, and spectrum analyzer.

They are all large and require a large space for evaluation, so it is a bit of a hassle to prepare a large device every time.

However, with ADALM2000, you can easily evaluate it by just using a PC and dedicated software!

Analog and digital in one

The ADALM2000 has many features for evaluating electronic circuits.

The ADALM2000 has a built-in 2ch/12-bit/100MSPS ADC and 2ch/12-bit/150MSPS DAC, and when combined with the specified software, it can create a high-performance experimental device.

It also has 16 channels of digital I/O, and is capable of SPI and I2C analysis and pattern generation.

These functions make it possible to perform a wide range of evaluations with just one device, including power supply evaluation, characteristic evaluation of analog circuits such as operational amplifiers, FFT analysis, and logic analyzer!

Versatile and fits in your pocket

Despite being packed with all these features, the ADALM2000 is just palm-sized.

Furthermore, it does not require an AC power source and can be powered by USB, so it can be used simply by connecting it to a PC via USB.

This means that experiments can be carried out not only in a lab but also in a classroom, at a desk or even in a cafe - it's truly a portable laboratory!

Recommended for people like this

- Students and young engineers who want to learn by observing circuits directly to improve their knowledge

- Engineers who want to quickly use an oscilloscope or logic analyzer to debug prototype circuits

・Engineers who want to evaluate and experiment anywhere

If you're a circuit enthusiast, you're probably now interested in trying out ADALM2000.

I opened the ADALM2000.

Now that you're interested in ADALM2000, let's take a look at what's inside the kit!

Unboxing the ADALM2000 kit — Kit box (left), kit contents (right)

The kit is packaged in a box measuring 12cm in height and 17cm in width and contains the following parts:

・ ADALM2000 main module

-USB-A to USB-micro-B cable

-Two types of jumper cables for ADALM2000

・Pin header

When we actually looked at the size, the main module was 11.5cm long and 7cm wide, so it really was palm-sized!

By the way, I tried it out to see if it would fit in my shirt pocket, and it fit perfectly (´∀｀)

ADALM2000 Analog Parts Kit

Analog Devices has published several practical articles using the ADALM2000 to help with circuit learning.

ADALM2000 Lab Series

This article introduces practical exercises for evaluating circuits using Analog Devices ICs.

Although it must be purchased separately, there is also an analog parts kit called "ADALP2000" that contains all the components needed for the exercise.

The kit contained not only passive components, but also a total of 30 ICs, including Analog Devices' operational amplifiers, accelerometers, and power supply ICs!

If you'd like to get hands-on with Analog Devices' ICs, be sure to check it out.

I am currently learning about electronic circuits using this kit! (I may write an article about that in the future...)

Preparation and Use

Software setup

Now, let's introduce how to prepare for using ADALM2000.

To use the ADALM2000, you need to install the USB driver (compatible with Windows, Linux, and MAC) and the dedicated software, Scopy.

Scopy is a GUI that integrates multi-function measurement tools, allowing you to replace many conventional measuring instruments with a single unit and providing a portable measurement environment suitable for evaluating electronic circuits.

These are provided free of charge and can be installed at the following sites:

USB Driver

Scopy

*If you want to use these immediately after installing them, you will need to shut down your PC once.

Hardware Setup

Once the software is ready, we move on to setting up the hardware.

First, remove the main module, USB cable, and jumper cables from the kit box.

Next, connect each of the parts you have taken out.

Connect the PC and main module with a USB cable. The connection is complete when the Ready lamp on the main module lights up and LED1 starts flashing.

After completing the connection, start Scopy and click the Connect button on the Scopy screen.

That's it for the hardware setup. It's that easy!

What's more, it's truly amazing that an evaluation environment can be created in such a small space!

Now we are ready to start experimenting!!!

Please look forward to the next article for the actual steps to operate it ☺

Summary

This time we explained the features of ADALM2000 and how to set it up.

The ADALM2000 is a portable measurement module with many features for evaluating electronic circuits.

We provide free dedicated software, which allows you to perform a wide range of evaluations simply by connecting to a PC.

This is the perfect solution for those who want to learn by directly observing circuits, or for those who want to quickly analyze and evaluate boards!

Now, let's start experimenting using the "Portable Laboratory ADALM2000"!!!
