The FS2670A DDR5 RDIMM Active Interposer Logic Analyzer Probe, developed by FuturePlus Systems, is a groundbreaking tool that, when combined with the Keysight Technologies U4164A Logic Analyzer module, creates the only DDR5 Protocol Analyzer for Server analysis available on the market today. This innovative solution empowers engineers and researchers to analyze and debug DDR5 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) command and address signals with unparalleled precision and depth. By placing the on-board RCD into Validation Pass Through Mode, the probe enables the RCD to latch the DCA bus from the host and feed the signals to the logic analyzer, allowing users to capture and examine the intricate workings of DDR5 memory systems in server environments.
To ensure optimal performance, the RCD on the FS2670A probe must be properly configured. This configuration process involves setting various registers, such as those responsible for frequency, terminations, VREFCA, and VREFCS. At higher data rates, advanced features like Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) and Continuous Time Linear Equalization (CTLE) can be enabled to maintain signal integrity. The probe currently supports data rates up to 5600MT/s, making it suitable for cutting-edge DDR5 server applications. Moreover, FuturePlus Systems is actively working on enabling the product to operate at an impressive 6400MT/s by simply updating the onboard RCD, further extending its capabilities to meet the demands of the most advanced DDR5 server systems. The included FS2670A Probe Manager software and Python scripting tool facilitate the configuration process, allowing users to fine-tune the RCD settings for their specific requirements.
One of the key features of the FS2670A probe is its interposer design, which enables users to probe any DDR5 RDIMM 288-pin slot connection without sacrificing an additional slot. This non-intrusive approach ensures that the target server system remains unaffected while the probe captures essential data. The probe's compatibility with the Keysight U4164A Logic Analyzer module further enhances its capabilities, providing users with a powerful combination of hardware and software tools for comprehensive DDR5 RDIMM server analysis. The included DDR Setup Assistant software guides users through the configuration and sample position adjustment process, ensuring accurate and reliable state data capture.
The FS2670A probe, in conjunction with the Keysight U4164A Logic Analyzer module, represents a significant milestone in DDR5 server memory analysis. As the only DDR5 Protocol Analyzer for Server analysis on the market, this solution provides engineers and researchers with an unrivaled tool for identifying potential issues, optimizing designs, and accelerating the development process of DDR5-based server systems. The comprehensive user manual and supporting software packages ensure that users can quickly set up and start utilizing the probe effectively. With FuturePlus Systems' commitment to staying at the forefront of DDR5 development and their ongoing efforts to support even higher data rates, the FS2670A probe is poised to remain an indispensable tool for server memory analysis as DDR5 technology continues to evolve.
