DDR SDRAM, also retroactively called DDR1 SDRAM, has been superseded by DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM, DDR4 SDRAM and DDR5 SDRAM. endobj Join Teledyne LeCroy for this 4-part DDR Memory Master Class to learn about the basics of DDR testing with oscilloscopes, including common test preparation and challenges, the difference between compliance and debug test tools, and practical tips and techniques to increase your DDR . >> /Count 10 << 0000000016 00000 n 40 0 obj /Rotate 90 endobj Three types of SSTL1.8V I/O, optimized for DDR2. x16 devices have only 2 Bank Groups whereas x4 and x8 have 4 as shown in figure 2. )$60,`z `t,MyS9&F*"\, @ +De/fb rP &~`z5TDg)`wYrvmIwH&Ox0rpa5n)O 0c5Uapw^X3}|~d3SS*NMeZ/Wu=s 62 0 obj tDQSS is the position of the DataStrobe (DQS) relative to Clock (CK). /Rotate 90 << >> /Nums [0 12 0 R] /Parent 10 0 R SDRAM Controller Subsystem Block Diagram, 4.4.
