Digilent
US-based designer of FPGA development boards and embedded measurement tools for engineering education, operating as part of Emerson after NI acquisition.
Digilent was founded in 2000 by electrical engineering professors at Washington State University with the goal of providing better hands-on tools for students and engineers. Headquartered in Pullman, Washington, USA, with an additional office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Digilent specializes in AMD/Xilinx-based FPGA and SoC development boards, USB test and measurement instruments, and data acquisition hardware. Its product portfolio includes the Nexys, Arty, and Basys series FPGA boards, and the Analog Discovery line of portable multi-function instruments.
The WaveForms software suite supports instrument control and analysis. National Instruments (NI) acquired Digilent in January 2013, and Digilent subsequently became part of Emerson's Test and Measurement division following Emerson's acquisition of NI in 2023. Digilent products are used in over 2,000 universities across more than 70 countries for robotics, embedded systems, and electronics education.
