Clock Tests
The DDR4 specification requires clock jitter to be separated into random and deterministic components, which is a first for DDR specifications. QPHY-DDR4 leverages industry leading serial data algorithms to perform the jitter breakdown for tJIT(per). In addition to these tests, QPHY-DDR4 will test average clock period, absolute clock period, average high/low pulse width, absolute high/low pulse width, cycle-cycle jitter, duty cycle jitter, and cumulative error over n period tests.
Timing Tests
tDQSQ verifies the skew between DQS and the associated DQ within a read burst. QPHY-DDR4 will perform this measurement on every DQ transition within a read burst. Upon completion each test will display a fully annotated "worst case measurement" screenshot which includes trace labels for the signals under test and relevant voltage levels.
Electrical Tests
The differential and single-ended slew rates defined by the JEDEC standards for DDR4/LPDDR4/4X measure every rising and falling edge within a write burst. QPHY-DDR4 will measure every transition within each write burst in the acquisition providing large statistically results in a short period of time. In this picture over 3,000 slew rate measurements were performed which ensures that the true maximum and minimum points have been caught without requiring multiple acquisitions.
DDR5 Software Bundle
The best tools cover all stages of design, from early turn-on through compliance. This means planning for the future, it might be testing DDR3 to DDR4 or upgrading to DDR5 designs. The DDR5 Bundle includes all the best tools (DDR Debug Toolkit + QualiPHY) across all generations, in a single purchasable software bundle.
