Tektronix Enhances DDR Test and Validation Portfolio with Two New Additions

The new interposers bring a cost effective test set up to the TLA7000 Series, making memory bus capture accessible to more designers. Tektronix 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 Analyzers, 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.

“Memory system validation and debug requires instruments with superior signal capture, measurement accuracy, powerful triggering and high performance probing,” said Dave Farrell, General Manager, Logic Analyzers Product Line, Tektronix, Inc. “By working with Nexus Technology we are able to offer our customers a way to gain easy, cost-effective access to DDR3 signals and deliver support for higher data rates and clock frequencies.”

“By working closely with Tektronix, our DDR3 solutions deliver unrivaled analog and digital validation of DDR3 Memory at affordable price points,” said Robert Shelsky, President, Nexus Technology.
