About Us
Since 2000, Digilent (a wholly owned subsidiary of National Instruments) has provided embedded engineers, researchers, scientists, and students with cost-optimized products, tools, and application information for innovative, FPGA and SoC based hardware-software systems. Our customizable and flexible solutions will accelerate development time for even the most experienced professionals, while maintaining low barrier to entry for advancing engineers, students, and the perpetually curious.

What We Make
We specialize primarily in Xilinx-based FPGA/SoC development boards/kits and portable USB test and measurement devices, all designed to be owned by and used from an engineer's or student's desk. We also offer a variety of expansion modules (Pmods and Zmods) to create flexible I/O options for our other products.
Our Design Philosophy
We provide the building blocks and you provide the brilliance. We can’t possibly predict all of the innovative solutions you will discover, so we create products that free you to efficiently implement your own unique ideas. We focus on low mean time to blink, hardware modularity and customizability, strong support materials, and open-source principles. And we have fun doing it.
