DDR/LPDDR Protocol Analyzer Technical Whitepaper: Non-Invasive Observation of Live Memory Links
This whitepaper addresses the live memory link observation solution composed of Introspect Technology's DDR/LPDDR protocol analyzer (M7030), remote sampling head (RSH, multi-channel active probe), and integrated tip interposer. Based on maximum 36-channel aligned capture and 80 Gsps asynchronous sampling, automatic command and timing verification based on JEDEC specifications, and field measurements of probing in non-terminated mode LPDDR5X 8533 MT/s systems, this document describes the causality and trade-offs of each design decision and their application boundaries. All figures are based on webinar presentation slides and technical Q&A; items that were not cross-verified have been excluded from the main text and separately organized as review items.

War on Noise: Piercing Through SI/PI/EMI in the Frequency Domain
In high-speed digital design, SI, PI, and EMI are not separate issues but a single physical phenomenon sharing Vias, PDN, coupling, and return paths. Based on WaveInSense webinar materials, this white paper organizes the causal chain of frequency domain analysis—from transmission line theory through Via Stub resonance, PDN anti-resonance, to a three-element model of system-level EMI. Finally, through an ultrasonic equipment EMC certification case study, it demonstrates how minimal changes targeting root cause structures led to certification acquisition and cost reduction (external chamber monthly usage reduced to 1/18 compared to the highest user).

The first signal determines the fate of the system
This whitepaper, based on the presentation materials and technical Q&A from the WaveInsense webinar 'Power & Boot Sequence Measurement Know-how,' summarizes measurement techniques for the initial operation interval spanning from the power-on sequence (Power-on Sequence) to the boot sequence (Boot Sequence), clock stability, and DC power quality in embedded systems. It presents a measurement procedure for narrowing down the causes of intermittent boot failures from the perspective of power rail sequence, PGOOD, reset, and clock quality, and addresses measurement pitfalls such as aliasing, low-frequency attenuation in AC coupling, and probe ground loops along with avoidance methods. Finally, it clarifies the boundary leading to integrated verification of power integrity (PI) and signal integrity (SI).
