RAMCHECK/RAMCHECK LX DDR3 240-pin Adapter
The RAMCHECK DDR3 Adapter (p/n INN-8668-16) supports testing of 240-pin PC3-6400, PC3-8500, PC3-10600, and PC3-12800 DDR3 memory, including unbuffered (UDIMM) and registered modules (RDIMM), both ECC and non-ECC, that comply with JEDEC standards, and LRDIMM (RAMCHECK LX only).
The DDR3 adapter plugs into the existing RAMCHECK or RAMCHECK LX base tester. This makes the DDR3 adapter by far the most cost-effective solution for testing modern high-speed DDR3 modules. In fact, its features are what you would expect to find in test equipment that costs $20,000 or more.
Don't let the adapter's small size fool you! High speed operations require short connections, while the adapter is loaded with state-of-the-art electronic components.
No special setup is required. As with all of our products, the adapter is extraordinarily simple to use. Insert the adapter, turn the RAMCHECK/RAMCHECK LX tester on, place a module into the test socket, then press the start button.
We have incorporated state-of-the-art technology in the design of the new RAMCHECK DDR3 Adapter.
1. | Main controller featuring our improved 1066MHz test engine. |
2. | High efficiency switching power regulator to generate the DDR3 STTL-15 interface power source. |
3. | Advanced analog section for measuring the module's current, voltages and the board's temperature. |
4. | Digitally-controlled Vtt regulator. |
5. | 400-1333MHz DDR3 clock generator. |
6. | Digitally-controlled high resolution VDD high efficiency switching power regulator. |
The RAMCHECK DDR3 adapter includes many new features which are relevant to the differences between DDR3 technology and the older DDR2 and DDR technology.
As with all of our RAMCHECK/RAMCHECK LX testers, each module's size, structure, and type are automatically detected, without the need for user's setup. The test flow follows our standard Basic Test, Extensive Test, and Auto-Loop process. The RAMCHECK DDR3 adapter is very simple to operate, with little training or setup required.
The new DDR3 incorporate numerous enhancement over our previous DDR2 technology, some of which are currently implement in the diagnostic tests and will be fully enabled in upcoming firmware versions. Please make sure that your base tester (RAMCHECK LX or RAMCHECK) always has the latest firmware installed. Please note that the following technical specifications are subject to change while we introduce this new DDR3 technology.
DDR3 Test Features |
Supports Burst Length of 8, BC4 or 8 and BC4. |
Supports both Read CAS LATENCY (CL) and Write CAS LATENCY (CWL) in the range of 5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12. Supports Additive Latency of 0, CL-1 and CL-2. Trcd is supported in the range of 4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. Default test allows automatic selection of CL and CWL for different test phases. The user can select specific CL values using SETUP or the CHANGE-ON-THE-FLY feature. |
Advanced timing circuitry and DCMs provides write leveling tests as well as differential delays along the input data path. |
Support On-Die-Termination (ODT) including Rtt_NOM and dynamic ODT with Rtt_WR. |
DDR3 Data rates : 800MHz and 1066MHz. Test engine reaches 1333Mhz on some tests. Higher speed DDR3 modules can still be tested at a lower frequency, as described below. |
Supports new DDR3 reset function and the mode registers enhancements. |
Test engine implement improved SRE (Self Refresh Entry) command as well as the new DDR3 long and short calibration commands (ZQCL/ZQCS). |
Improved current and temperature measurement circuitry. |
True 1.5V testing with a wide support range of 1.35V to 1.8V at 10mV increments. (Dual voltage DDR3L.) |
Controlled Vtt for true STTL-15 compatibility. |
Parallel testing capability of 64/72-bits. |
Rugged, 240-pin test-quality ZIF socket for convenient module handling. |
Automatic detection and support for Registered/Unbuffered modules. |
Automatic DQS8..0/DM8..0 or DQS17..0 support. |
Four -S control lines for up to 4-rank devices. |
Fourteen A15..0 address lines and three BA2..0 bank select address lines to support 16GB modules. |
Complete SPD programming support. |
Supports converter for 204-pin S.O. DIMM modules and other future converters. |
The RAMCHECK DDR3 tester can perform DDR3 tests at actual test frequencies up to 1066MHz. Modules designed for 1333MHz and 1600MHz (as well as future DDR3-1800, 1866, 2000, etc.) can be functionally tested on the DDR3 adapter but at a reduced frequency. The DDR3 test engine can achieve 1333MHz internal diagnostic speeds. Please see the product specifications for futher details.
