Overview
Nexus Technology is proud to announce a new family of interposers designed to meet the rigorous demands of testing high-speed memory technologies, including LPDDR5, LPDDR6, and DDR5, and DDR6. Engineered for performance and precision, these interposers support data rates exceeding 10 Gbps—such as those seen in cutting-edge DDR5-12000 and LPDDR5X-14400 implementations—enabling seamless signal access for oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other advanced test equipment. This product family empowers engineers to validate, debug, and optimize next-generation memory systems with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
Key Features
High-Speed Compatibility: Supports LPDDR5, LPDDR6, DDR5 and DDR6 standards, with signal integrity maintained at speeds exceeding 10 Gbps, aligning with the latest memory specifications (e.g., LPDDR5X [JESD209], DDR5 [JESD79-5]).
Robust Signal Access: Provides low-loss, high-fidelity probing points for critical signals, including data (DQ), command/address (CA), and clock lines, ensuring minimal impact on system performance during testing.
Flexible Design: Available in multiple configurations to accommodate various package types (e.g., BGA, PoP) and test setups, offering compatibility with industry-standard oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers.
Enhanced Durability: Built with high-quality materials to withstand repeated mating cycles and maintain signal reliability in demanding lab environments.
Streamlined Integration: Designed for easy installation between the memory and host systems, reducing setup time and complexity for test engineers.
Technical Specifications
Bandwidth: Exceeding 10 Gbps per channel, supporting next-generation memory clock frequencies.
Insertion Loss: < 3dB at or exceeding 15GHz, ensuring minimal signal degradation.
Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C, suitable for use in environments required for aerospace, automotive, and military applications.
Form Factor: Compact design tailored to standard memory footprints (custom variants available upon request).
Applications
This interposer family is an essential tool for engineers working on:
Design Validation: Verify signal integrity and timing margins during memory subsystem development.
Debugging: Isolate and analyze anomalies in high-speed memory interfaces with precise waveform capture.
Compliance Testing: Ensure adherence to JEDEC standards (e.g., JESD209-5 for LPDDR5, JESD79-5 for DDR5) and manufacturer-specific requirements.
Performance Optimization: Fine-tune memory controllers and PHYs for maximum throughput and reliability.
Why It Matters
As memory technologies like LPDDR5/6 and DDR5/6 push the boundaries of speed and efficiency—driven by applications in AI, 5G, and high-performance computing—the need for accurate, non-intrusive testing solutions has never been greater. Traditional probing methods often introduce noise or fail to capture signals at multi-gigabit rates. Our interposers address these challenges by providing a reliable bridge between memory devices and test equipment, enabling engineers to accelerate time-to-market while ensuring product quality.
Availability
The interposer family is currently available in select packages for LPDDR5 and DDR5 with additional packages and rollout of LPDDR6 and DDR6 scheduled for 2025. Contact Nexus Technology’s sales team for pre-order inquiries, custom configurations, or technical support.
Conclusion
With support for data rates exceeding 10 Gbps and compatibility across LPDDR5, LPDDR6, DDR5, and DDR6 Nexus Technology’s new interposer family sets a new standard for high-speed memory testing. Whether you’re designing cutting-edge mobile devices, enterprise servers, or embedded systems, these interposers deliver the precision and flexibility needed to succeed in a competitive landscape.
