Analog Discovery 2 can do 3.3V?

[LariSan]

Hi, 

I'm reviewing Waveforms 2015 on Mac. 
I'm looking at the power supply window and had a few questions. 

 

1. Is it possible to do 3.3V? I see 3V and I see 4V, but not the option to select 3.3V.

2. If I have an external power supply, can the AD2 do more than 5V?

Hi Larissa,

1. This and similar comboboxes in the application beside the preset values allow entering custom values.
You can write and set the supply voltage to 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V too.

2. The positive supply of AD2 adjustable up to 5V and negative down to -5V.

Ah, so the drop down can be overridden with type. 

Thank you. 

Is there a recommended power supply to go with the AD2?

Hi LariSan,

You can comfortably use a 2.5A, 5V DC power supply as per this thread here: 

 

Digilent has such a power supply available on their store here: http://store.digilentinc.com/5v-2-5a-switching-power-supply/

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks,
JColvin

Yes, the 5V 2.5A supply in the Related product of AD2 is suitable.
