Products - FBD
FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) Family of Products
FBD hardware adapters are available as FBD LAI (logic analyzer interface) interposers and NEXVu FBDIMMs. The FBD LAI interposer probes the FBD channel to show all traffic on the channel whereas the NEXVu FBDIMM probes the DDRII traffic between the AMB (advanced memory buffer) and the DDRII memory components.
FBD LAI Interposer
FBD
LAI interposers utilize the optional AMB LAI mode implementation
described in the FB-DIMM Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) Draft
Specification. FBD LAI interposers utilize an AMB operating in
LAI mode which repeats the FBD traffic to the FBDIMM plugged
into the LAI. The LAI AMB also deserializes the FBD channel
traffic and outputs that information in parallel form to logic
analyzer probe points. This data is acquired, decoded and
displayed by the logic analyzer.
For applications requiring monitoring of multiple FBD channels, each FBD LAI interposer comes standard with FBD Event Bus connectors which allow multiple FBD LAI interposers to be interconnected to enable triggering across multiple FBD channels.
An SMBus interface is also available on the FBD LAI interposer which provides the means for setting internal AMB trigger parameters. All hardware and software needed to set these parameters over a standard USB port are provided at no additional cost.
Please see the FBD specification for more information on FBD LAI mode, the FBD Event Bus or the FBD SMBus communication link.
Please see the FBD-LAI page for more information.
FBD NEXVu
Our FBD NEXVus are
JEDEC standard FBDIMMs extended to add logic analyzer probe points. These products are
not interposers. FBD NEXVu's act as a normal FBDIMM (no LAI
mode) and also provides logic analyzer connections to the DDRII
bus between the FBD AMB and the DDRII memory components. FBD
NEXVu products are ideal for customers wishing to gain
visibility of the memory transactions.
A variety of FBD NEXVus are available. Please see our FBD NEXVu page for more information.
