W3630A Series DDR3 BGA Probes for Logic Analyzers and Oscilloscopes

Data Sheets

The W3630A series DDR3 BGA probes enable probing of embedded memory DIMMs directly at the ball grid array with Keysight Technologies, Inc. logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.

The Keysight W3630A series DDR3 BGA probes for logic analyzers and oscilloscopes enable viewing of data traffic on industry standard DDR3 DRAMs with the Keysight 16900 Series and U4154A logic analysis systems and Infiniium 9000 and 90000 Series oscilloscopes.

DDR3 BGA Probe Connection to a Keysight Logic analyzer

The W3631A and W3636A DDR3x16 BGA probes connect to the E5845A to provide connection to the logic analyzer. The W3633A DDR3 x4/x8 BGA probe connects to E5847A to provide connection to the logic analyzer

DDR EyeFinder and EyeScan Software

The DDR EyeFinder and EyeScan software is a great tool to help you position the sampling points for accurate read and write data capture. The software triggers on valid read and write commands with your system executing any memory test suite or stimulus program. The software will then display read and write data valid window as a result of the scan.

Protocol Analysis

The W3630A series BGA probes along with the B4621B memory bus decoder provide protocol decode of memory transactions using a Keysight logic analyzer as the analysis execution engine. Data is decoded and displayed at any level of detail from the protocol to binary.The B4621B protocol-decode software translates acquired signals into easily understood bus transactions, at the full bus speed. The Keysight logic analyzer provides extensive triggering and store qualification features. The DDR protocol-decode software executes in the logic analyzer and takes user input on system attributes such as Burst length, CAS and Addi­tive Latency, as well as Chip Selects to decode the key DDR bus signals and present a display that lists the transaction type, address, data and command conditions. The software also supports user-defined symbols that can be easily added to the state listing display. The W3630A Series BGA probes along with the B4622B DDR protocol compliance and analy­sis toolset provide physical address triggering, debug and compliance verification measurements.

DDR3 BGA Probe Connection to an Oscilloscope

The DDR3 BGA probe is used with W3635B scope probe adapter and the E2678A socketed probe head to connect to the oscilloscope. The socketed probe head makes a 4 GHz bandwidth (typical) connection with the pin headers on the W3635B scope probe adapter with N5465A InfiniiSim Waveform Transformation toolset.
