DDR2(+LP) Compliance Testing Methods of Implementation 5

DDR2(+LP) Compliance Test Application — At A Glance

The Keysight D9020DDRC DDR2(+LP) Compliance Test Application is a DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2)

test solution that covers electrical, clock and timing parameters of the JEDEC (Joint Electronic

Device Engineering Council) specifications. The software helps you in testing all the un-buffered

DDR2 DUTs (devices under test) compliance, with the Keysight 9000, 90000 series, and UXR series

Infiniium digital storage oscilloscope.

There are 2 main categories of test modes:

• Compliance Tests - These tests are based on the DDR2 JEDEC compliance specifications and are

compared to corresponding compliance test limits.

• Custom Mode Tests - These tests are not based on any compliance specification. The primary use

of these tests is to perform non-JEDEC specific speed signal testing.

The DDR2(+LP) Compliance Test Application:

• Lets you select individual or multiple tests to run.

• Lets you identify the device being tested and its configuration.

• Shows you how to make oscilloscope connections to the device under test.

• Automatically checks for proper oscilloscope configuration.

• Automatically sets up the oscilloscope for each test.

• Allows you to determine the number of trials for each test, with the new multi trial run capability.

• Allows you to customize the test limits in the application which determines the pass or/and fail of

each test.

• Provides detailed information of each test that has been run. The result of maximum twenty five

worst trials can be displayed at any one time.

• Creates a printable HTML report of the tests that have been run.

The minimum number of probes required for the tests are:

• Clock tests - 1 probe.

• Electrical tests - 3 probes.

• Clock Timing tests - 3 probes.

• Custom Mode tests - 3 probes.

DDR2 SDRAM electrical, clock and timing test standards and specifications are described in the

JESD79-2E and JESD208 document. For more information, please refer to JEDEC web site at

www.jedec.org.

NOTE

The tests performed by the DDR2(+LP) Compliance Test Application are intended to provide a quick

check of the physical layer performance of the DUT. These testing are not replacement for an

exhaustive test validation plan.
