Logic analyser modules aid DDR3 development
Agilent Technologies and FuturePlus Systems Corp have announced a collaborative analysis solution for DDR3 memory buses operating at datarates up to 1066Mtransfer/s.
Agilent Technologies and FuturePlus Systems Corp have announced a collaborative analysis solution for DDR3 memory buses operating at datarates up to 1066Mtransfer/s. The new tool combines the FuturePlus FS2350 DDR3 interposer analysis probe and the Agilent 16950B series logic analyser modules, both introduced in November 2006. The new tools will be used by design teams in the computer, communications, semiconductor, aerospace and defence industries.
Those designers face growing bus-analysis challenges as ever-faster memory speeds continue to outpace existing measurement platforms.
The FuturePlus FS2350 analysis probe, designed for use with Agilent logic analysis systems, provides state analysis and protocol decode at up to 1066Mtransfer/s, as well as timing analysis at up to 4GHz in systems with typical data valid windows as narrow as 650ps.
The FS2350 is the only DDR3 interposer analysis probe proven to provide reliable 1066Mtransfer/s data capture.
The new Agilent 16950B 68-channel logic analyser modules provide high sample rate and deep memory offering state analysis capture of up to 667MHz and maximum datarate of 1066Mbit/s as well as up to 64Mword of acquisition memory.
The 16950B offers the performance necessary to validate leading-edge designs in the computer and semiconductor industries, such as DDR3 and front-side bus designs.
Agilent's new 16951B 68-channel logic analyser module offers the same acquisition performance as the 16950B, but also quadruples the industry's maximum memory depth to 256Msample.
Both of the new modules are designed for use in Agilent 16900 Series logic-analysis systems.
The FuturePlus Systems FS2350 analysis probe and Agilent 16950 Series logic analyser modules are available at the following prices: FS2350 DDR3 1066 memory analysis probe US $40,000; 16950B 68 channel logic analyser starting at US $23,500; and 16951B 68 channel logic analyser with 256Msample memory starting at US $65,000.
