When designers of wireless equipment such as enterprise servers and mobile devices use the new solution with the Keysight U4164A logic analyzer, they can verify protocol compliance as well as debug and test DDR5 and LPDDR5 systems.

The industry is adopting the 5G New Radio (NR) standard, which requires data servers and mobile devices to provide low power consumption along with higher data speeds and performance. DDR5 memory provides the high bandwidth and performance enhancements necessary for next-generation cloud servers to support 5G use cases. Through LPDDR5, mobile devices can achieve enhanced bandwidth, improved performance, and lower power consumption.

Keysight's new solution captures and analyzes real-time traffic to support engineers in analyzing DDR5 or LPDDR5 bus traffic behavior. This is achieved through the tracing of memory bus signals between the processor and memory devices. Keysight provides a comprehensive design test solution for next-generation cloud servers by combining DDR5 analysis and conformance software, the U4164A logic analyzer, and DDR interposers.

Keysight provides a portfolio of solutions to address the entire DDR5 technology lifecycle, from design to debugging, conformance verification, and manufacturing testing of finished products. A common user interface combined with extensive test coverage throughout the workflow establishes a cost-effective test environment that provides excellent correlation with the measurements required to troubleshoot issues related to memory traffic, signal integrity, and power integrity.

"Critical cloud and device applications require reliable, high-performance DDR5 memory technology. With Keysight's DDR5 and LPDDR5 memory protocol debug and verification solutions, device designers can accelerate high-speed digital interface innovations to support next-generation devices and future 5G use cases," said Kailash Narayanan, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight's Wireless Devices division.
