DDR Memory Bus Electrical Validation and Analysis Software
Additional Capabilities using a Performance
MSO (Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope)
Full Bus Analysis using Logic Analyzer and
Oscilloscope
The MSO70000 Series Performance MSOs allow you to probe more signals
on the DDR bus and to trigger on and view specific bus events. Up to 16
digital channels can be used to view logic states of command and address
signals such as RAS, CAS, WE, CE, CS, etc. Signal integrity of these
16 inputs can be analyzed using the iCapture™ multiplexing feature, which
allows any of the digital input signals to be internally routed to one of the
scope’s four analog channels. Measurements involving command-bus cycle
timing can also be analyzed using the bus-decode features of the MSO
and DDRA software.
When full protocol analysis or probing of the entire memory bus is required,
a logic analyzer can provide this additional capability. The TLA7000 Series
logic analyzers can also be linked with Tektronix oscilloscopes to provide
an integrated test setup using tools such as iCapture mentioned above.
This eliminates the need for double probing and allows full analog capture
of any signals probed by the logic analyzer. In addition, the iView™ display
interface allows transfer of the oscilloscope data to the logic analyzer
display, so that data from both instruments are analyzed and time-aligned
on one display screen.
