7 Introductio n Thank you for purchasing the FuturePlus Systems FS 2334 DDR2 DIMM Interposer Logic Analyzer Probe. We think you will find the FS2334, alon g with your Agilent Technologies Logic Analyz er, a valuable tool for helping to characterize and deb ug your DDR2-based systems. This Users G uid e will provide the information you need to insta[...]

8 FS2334 Probe Description The FS2334 DDR2 Probe allows you to perform timing analysi s me asu rements on DDR2 DIMM busses. It also provides a Protocol Decoder with the cap ability of providing State analysis of both Read and Write activi ty is provided by using the dual sam ple mode feature available on the 169xx. The interposer design of this pro[...]

9 Signal Assignme nts on Probe Pod s The overlap in the bit ranges (for DQxx) signals bet ween pods occurs because the bits are assigned to pods in the orde r that they appear physically on the DDR2 DIMM connector, which is not strictly in logical bit order. This allows the Probe layo ut to better match stub lengths among all DQxx sign als. See the[...]

10 FS2334 Frontside layout FS2334 Backside layout Test Points There are several test point on the board. The first set of test points are used to select which signals g o to the Clk inp ut and the D15 input of Header 2. The shipping configur ation for the FS2334 is to have S0 wired to the Clk input, which is TP3 wired to TP2. This is d one in the f[...]

14 Software Requirements Setting up the 1 69xx A nalyzer A CD containing the 16900 software is in clud ed in the FS1136 package. The CD contains a setup file that will automatically install the conf iguration files and protocol decoder onto a PC containi ng the 169 00 oper ating system or onto a 16900 a nalyzer itself. To install the software simpl[...]

15 Offline Analy sis Offline analysis allows a user to be able to analyze a trace offline at a PC so it fre es up the analyzer for another person to use the analyzer to captu re data. If you have already used the license that was in cluded with your package on a 1680/90/900 analyzer and woul d like to have the offline analysis feature on a PC you m[...]

16 After the decoder has loaded, select Pre f eren ce s from the overview screen and set the preferences to their correct value in order to decode the trace prope rly. The protocol decoders, FS1136 and FS1117, requi re 4 param eters to be entered by the user in order to decode valid states. To acce ss the preferences on the 169xx sel ect Prefs from[...]

17 TimingZoom Analysis The TimingZoom feature of the 1690x logic analyzer allows for efficient timing analysi s of all the signals on the DDR2 DIMM bus. Please refer to the “Setting up the 16900 Analyz er” section of this manual on the use of the general purpose probe feature to de termine how to attach the logic analyzer to the probe. Load the[...]

18 State Analysis Overview There are several choices for State mod e analysis using the FS2334 DDR2 p robe depending on the speed of the data bu s being probed and the numb er of logic a nalyzer cards available to the user. At data speeds of up to 667MT/s the log ic analyzer can be triggered on BOTH edges of the clock si gnal u sed for State analys[...]

19 State Analys is Operatio n – Read and Write at 667 MT/s or slower State mode capture is performed by using both ed ge s of CK0. This double probing of each signal is handled internally by the Ag ilent Logic Analyzer using the Dual Sa mple mode feature. State analysis within these parameters only requi res dual sampling of the Data signals, whi[...]

20 The process for setting sampling positio ns at spee ds of 8 00MT/s: This procedure requires the probe user to capture TimingZoom traces an d use the markers to determine the correct sampling posi tion s. This is an iterative, trial and error procedure where adjustm e nts to Data signal sampling positions may need to be adjusted several times bef[...]

21 State analysis calibration pro cedure This process is in large pa rt the same for both use in the 7 card Read and Write configuration at 800MT/s and for the 4 card configurat ions. Differen ces are noted. 1) Start a memory test program that creat es a good mixture of read s and writes in a single TimingZoom trace. A trigger on a write may be req[...]

22 4) Repeat this procedure using the next rising edg e of Write – Command:CK2_TZ and the corresponding data b urst cycle (it will be right next to the burst cycle you just looked at). Measure the time differe nce from the rising edge of Wri te – Command:CK2_TZ to both the cente r of the data eyes associated with the rising edge of the Data str[...]
