1.0OVERVIEW1.1General Information

The DDR3 Interposer Products are designed for ease of use. Interposers extra signal trace length, also an extra connector that might affect the quality of the system operation in some systems.

This Product is designed for capture of 1066MT/s or slower, and may only be used with the Tektronix TLA7BB4 acquisition modules.

This product requires the use of the new NEX-PRB1X-T / PRB2X-T Low Profile Distributed probes available from Nexus. Tektronix P68xx or P69xx probes can not be used.

This Interposer has been designed to provide a quick and easy connection to interface to a Tektronix TLA7BB4 Logic Analyzer acquisition cards to a 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) bus. Contact NEXUS Technology for other available DDR3 Products. The Nexus Technology web site (www.NexusTechnology.com) contains information on the latest software release.

1.2 Software Package description

The NEX-DDR3INTR-THIN support includes the following software packages:

B_DDR3D_2D allows the user to acquire Read AND Write data from a single, dual or quad rank DDR3 DIMM running 1066MT/s or less. This support requires 1ea. NEX- PRB1X-T and 3ea. NEX-PRB2X-T Low Profile Distributed probes, and two merged Tektronix TLA7BB4 acquisition cards. This support can use selective clocking to reduce the number of Idle states acquired by the logic analyzer.

Optional software available for the NEX-DDR3INTR-THIN support includes the following software packages:

B_DDR3D_2G allows the user to acquire Read AND Write data from a memory channel made up of two or three DIMM slots with one or two rank DDR3 DIMMs running 800MT/s or less. This is total disassembly for the 3 DIMM memory channel. This support requires 2ea. NEX-PRB1X-T and 3ea. NEX-PRB2X-T Low Profile Distributed probes, and two merged Tektronix TLA7BB4 acquisition cards. This support also requires the NEX-PRBCOAX product. This support can be used with Single Rank and Dual Rank DIMMs (will also support a single quad rank DIMM). Reads for the three DIMMs must have a common data eye (over lap) of 330ps. No selective clocking

B_DDR3D_3A allows the user to acquire Read AND Write data from a memory channel made up of two DIMM slots with single or dual rank DDR3 DIMMs running 1066MT/s or less. This is total disassembly for the 2 DIMM memory channel. This support requires 5ea. NEX-PRB1X-T and 3ea. NEX-PRB2X-T Low Profile Distributed probes, and three merged Tektronix TLA7BB4 acquisition cards. This support also requires two
