Preprocessor enables next-gen memory
testing
Interposer is designed for use with Tektronix TLA7000 series logic analysis systems to enhance the debug of 1333 DIMM cards.
FuturePlus Systems Corp has developed a DDR3 1333 interposer preprocessor for next-generation double-datarate (DDR) SDRAM buses The world's fastest interposer is designed for use with Tektronix TLA7000 series logic analysis systems to enhance the debug of 1333 DIMM cards, improving reliability and time to market for the latest high performance DDR memory technologies

Tektronix has announced that its RSA3000B real-time spectrum analyser series has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Design and Test Product of the Year category of the Elektra 08 Awards.
Serial ATA Revision 3.0 standard test procedures
Tektronix has announced the availability of the first published test procedures for physical layer testing of the Serial ATA Revision 3.0 standard.
It will be used by designers involved with DIMM validation, failure analysis and bus functional-parametric validation in PC gaming, servers, super computing, and high-definition television.
The new preprocessor provides state analysis and protocol decode at up to 1333 megatransfers per second, as well as timing analysis at up to 50GHz in DDR3 systems.
The FS2355 is the only DDR3 interposer tool proven to provide reliable 1333Mtransfer/s data capture using the new TLA7BBx Tektronix logic analyser modules.
"Interposers are an important part of our customers' debug strategy as they allow the use of any DDR3 DIMM", said Ross Nelson, Marketing Director, Logic analyser Product Line, Tektronix.
"We are pleased that FuturePlus Systems is making their interposer technology available to our customers".
"We welcome the opportunity to complement the Tektronix TLA logic analyser family with the new FuturePlus memory bus preprocessor", said Edward Aichinger, President of FuturePlus Systems.
"The FuturePlus Systems interposer technology combined with the TLA7BB4 modules provides compelling insight into DDR3 bus activity".
The FS2355 preprocessor offers flexibility and out-of-box ease-of-use.
Its low-profile interposer design minimises probe-induced effects on the DDR3 bus.
An interposer probe is inserted into the target memory socket while also accepting a memory module in the probe's extender DIMM slot.
This capability is essential when the target system has only one memory slot, or when a user must probe a fully populated memory bus.
The FS2355 includes software that helps users to comprehend acquired data and enhances usability.
Protocol-decode software interprets bus data and displays it in protocol, hexadecimal, or binary format; and auto-configuration files facilitate quick logic-analyser setup.
From FuturePlus, the FS2355 has a US list price of $48,250 including probe cables.
