Upgrades For DDR Test & Validation Portfolio

Tektronix Inc, a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, has announced enhancements and upgrades to its market-leading DDR test and validation portfolio. New interposers being introduced for the Tektronix TLA7000 Series Logic Analysers provide engineers with bus capture and analysis for the latest DDR3-1867 standard. The new interposers bring a cost effective test set up to the TLA7000 Series, making memory bus capture accessible to more designers. The company is also announcing the industry’s first electrical test verification for LP-DDR2 – a new energy efficient version of the popular DDR standard. These new offerings add to the comprehensive, integrated DDR memory solution from Tektronix, which provides insight into validating and improving designs of engineers. DDR3-1867 is the latest generation of double-data-rate memory technology and is now included in the latest release of the DDR3 standard specification from JEDEC, the standards organization for DDR memory. Designed to meet the increasing demand for faster performance in such applications as PC gaming, servers, super-computing, notebooks and high-definition television, DDR3-1867 offers such advantages as a higher data rate and lower power consumption. The Tektronix TLA7000 series of Logic Analyzsrs, along with the new interposer solutions from Nexus Technology, Inc., and supporting software give designers a complete set of debug and validation tools for DDR3, including high-speed DDR3-1867. Nexus Technology is the embedded solutions tool partner of Tektronix. The TLA7000 provides the performance and features engineers require for fast, reliable DDR3 design and validation. For instance, MagniVu™ ultra-high sampling resolution of 20ps on the TLA7BBx modules allows design engineers to troubleshoot difficult problems as well as verify timing margins across hundreds of channels. The iCapture™ Analog Mux on the TLA7BBx modules enables the use of an external oscilloscope to view the analog character of a signal using a single probing configuration for both the logic analyser and oscilloscope, saving time and minimising setup complexity – a capability unmatched by any other logic analyser vendor.
