Software
This DDR4 DIMM slot interposer comes with logic analyzer setup software, DDR4 command sequence decode software, DDR4 data eye sample point analysis software, and optionally comes with command sequence & timing compliance software.
Logic Analyzer Setup
The logic analyzer setup software (Tektronix refers to these as 'Support Packages') provides a quick setup of the logic analyzer channels and logic analyzer clocking/acquisition parameters. This software also provides protocol decoding of the DDR4 transactions for easy display and logic analyzer triggering/filtering.
Analog Validation
A powerful analog validation feature is the Tektronix Logic Analyzer's Analog Mux capability. This provides the ability to see any channel of the DDR4 bus in seconds on an oscilloscope. This is invaluable information which allows analysis within minutes as to the status and behavior of the DDR4 bus. No extra probing is required to gain analog incite of the DDR4 bus. This information can be pushed back into the logic analyzer software and viewed in a wave form window along with the state or timing data using the iView Feature.
Tektronix discusses some of these topics in more detail in the application note, Debugging Timing Problems with a Logic Analyzer.
Digital Validation
Logic analyzer setup software (TLA support package) included with this product acquires/reconstructs the command/address bus and acquires/reconstructs the read/write data from the data bus. The software also
decodes and displays the bus command sequence, shows the valid read/write data and provides easy DDR command sequence triggering to quickly capture relevant data.
The optional DDR4 Memory Compliance Analysis package enables and automates measurement of the DDR4 bus activity for fast and easy functional testing and extensive compliance, statistical, and performance analysis.
Execution Validation
These products optionally include the DDR4 Memory Compliance Analysis software package. This software package performs advanced command sequence & timing compliance analysis. It also provides statistical information and global bus activity to quickly give the user an overview of the DDR4 bus activity without having to revert to a listing or waveform window.
- Extensive JEDEC DDR4 Compliance Analysis
- Quick and Easy Setup w/No Calibration Required
- Automated Acquisition and Measurement
- Powerful in-application graphical and tabular analysis results
- Memory controller & JEDEC parameters predefined
- Quickly navigate through multiple acquisitions
Sample Point Setup
The DDR4 specification calls out skew on a the DQ data bus
on a per byte basis, relative to the DDR clock. Design of high speed interconnect will also introduce skew on a per bit basis. In order for the logic analyzer to capture data accurately, the sample points must be set in consideration of this byte to byte and bit to bit skiew. When the data bus activity is inadequate for automated sample setting, iCiS can be used to graphically display the signal eyes on a per group or per signal basis, and then graphically select the optimum sample point voltage threshold and timing offset
