Tektronix Delivers LPDDR4 PHY Layer Test Solution

Tektronix Inc., a manufacturer of oscilloscopes, has launched the industry’s first complete PHY later and conformance test solution for JEDEC LPDDR4, the next generation of mobile memory technology.

LPDDR4 introduces new test and measurement challenges due to lower input/output voltage of 1.1V, higher data rates and compact mechanical designs that limit test point access. With Tektronix’ new test solution, engineers have access to the complete set of tools needed for qualifying LPDDR4 designs, and can reduce testing cycles from a week or more to a single hour, the company states.

Tektronix is also introducing the LPDDR4 memory component interposters designed for the mechanical constraints of mobile designs, reusability and component swapping. The company is offering PHY layer testing and debug of the new LPDDR4 standard in DDR-LP4 analysis software.

“There’s no question that LPDDR4 makes validation far more complex and challenging for the entire mobile memory ecosystem, from silicon vendors to system integrators,” said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix.  “We offer the test and measurement tools needed to efficiently bring this exciting technology to market, from high-performance oscilloscopes and probes to advanced analysis software spanning the entire memory validation continuum.”
