Agilent and Nexus have made available DDR3-1867 DIMM and
DDR3-1600 SODIMM slot interposer test solutions. These test
solutions are suitable for designers performing DDR3 DIMM
or SODIMM validation, failure analysis, and bus functional-parametric
validation in servers, supercomputing, desktops, laptops
and computing applications.
The test solutions are comprised of the Agilent 16962A
logic analyzer module and either a Nexus NT-DDR3DIHS or
Nexus NT-DDR3SOIHS slot interposer for next-generation,
double-data rate (DDR3) SDRAM buses.
The new interposers are designed for use with the Agilent
16900 Series logic analyzer providing state analysis and
protocol decode at up to 1,867 mega-transfers per second
(MT/s) for DDR3 DIMM applications and 1,600MT/s for SODIMM
applications.
The DDR3 test platform, offering fast full-channel 2.0GT/s
16962A logic analysis module, a complete probing portfolio
for DDR3 BGA, DIMM and SODIMM, and the first DDR3 compliance
and performance software environment.
Agilent's 16962A logic analysis module with 2.0 GT/s state
speed and 2GHz trigger sequence speed enables full capability
to reliably trigger and capture DDR3-1867 signals. When
used with these new DDR3 probing solutions and analysis
software tools, this module provides full test capability
for system integration in the memory industry.
"The new Agilent 16962A module, when used with Nexus
DIMM and SODIMM interposers, provides superior insight into
DDR3 bus activity," said Jun Chie, marketing manager
for Logic and Protocol Test at Agilent. "This solution
setup is more proof of Agilent's commitment to provide designers
of DDR devices with the ideal toolset to address their test
challenges."
Benefits of the 16962A logic analyzer module and Nexus
DDR3 DIMM and SODIMM solution setups include:
Interposer design provides flexibility and ease of use
for testing and digital validation of different DDR3 DIMMs
or SODIMMs.
Software components speed setup and simplify analysis. The
solution includes software that helps users to comprehend
acquired data and enhance usability. Protocol-decode software
interprets bus data and displays it in protocol, hexadecimal
or binary format. Auto-configuration files facilitate quick
logic analyzer setup.
Interposer support for DIMMs. The solution supports a 240-pin,
933 MHz clock (1866 MT/s data rate), 64-/72-bit, Un-buffered
Synchronous Double Date Rate 3 DRAM Dual In-Line Memory
Module (DDR3 SDRAM DIMM).
Interposer support for SODIMMs. The solution supports a
204-pin, 800 MHz clock (1600 MT/s data rate), 64-bit, Un-buffered
Synchronous Double Date Rate 3 DRAM Small Outline Dual In-Line
Memory Module (DDR3 SDRAM SODIMM).
