Keysight W2630 Series DDR2 DRAM BGA Probes Installation Guide

Keysight B4622A DDR2/3 Protocol Compliance and Analysis Tool

This package consists of three tools:
• A trigger tool, which automatically sets up a trigger on the address you specify.
• A validation tool, which evaluates captured DDR2/DDR3 data against a set of user- defined limits 

to help you validate that a memory system is operating properly. The automated test application 

guides you through the process of selecting and configuring tests, running tests, and evaluating 

the test results.

• A performance tool, which graphically profiles the distribution of memory accesses.

Figure 19 A screen from the DDR validation tool showing results from a bus where the Activate-to-Precharge time is less 

than tRASmin as specified in the JEDEC standard.
