LeCroy Introduces QualiPHY DDR2 Automated Compliance Test Package

Chestnut Ridge, NY, July 2, 2009 - LeCroy Corporation expands its QualiPHY automated serial data compliance test solutions to now include QPHY-DDR2 with a full suite of Clock, Electrical and Timing tests as specified by the JEDEC Specification and Intel JEDEC Specifications Addendums. Immediately available for WavePro 7 Zi and WaveMaster 8 Zi oscilloscopes, the QPHY-DDR2 test solution is ideally suited to characterize DDR2 memory interfaces, and is capable of performing measurements on 400 MHz, 533 MHz, 667 MHz, 800 MHz, 1066 MHz and custom speed grades.

DDR2 is a high-speed memory interface commonly used in computer systems. QPHY-DDR2 enables the user to obtain the highest level of confidence in their DDR2 interface. Due to the high level of variability in DDR2 measurements it is important to measure a large number of cycles. The ability of the WavePro 7 Zi and WaveMaster 8 Zi oscilloscopes to measure a large number of cycles in a very short period of time ensures that QPHY-DDR2 users are catching the true maximum and minimum points for their measurement.

In addition to automated characterization of DDR2 signals, QPHY-DDR2 also enables powerful debug capability for DDR2 signals inside the oscilloscope. All of the waveforms tested by QPHY-DDR2 can be saved to easily share information or rerun the tests at a later time. Root causes of failure can be quickly and easily found using all of the advanced serial data tools within the oscilloscope. These include LeCroy’s popular SDA II, Eye Doctor II, and WaveScan features.

QualiPHY, LeCroy’s automated test engine, is an easy to configure user interface that allows for custom test and limit selection, displays connection diagrams to the user to ensure proper connectivity, and generates reports with all of the results including screenshots of the worst case failures for each applicable test.
