High-Speed DDR3 Interposer Outfits Popular Logic Analyzers

Heralded as the fastest DDR3 interposer for use with Tektronix TLA7000 series logic analyzers, the FS2355 DDR3 1333 interposer preprocessor for next-generation DDR SDRAM buses promises to enhance the debug of 1333 DIMM cards. The preprocessor provides state analysis and protocol decode at rates up to 1,333 Mega-transfers per second as well as timing analysis up to 50 GHz in DDR3 systems. According to the company, the interposer's low-profile design minimizes probe-induced effects on the bus. The FS2355 includes software that helps users to comprehend acquired data and enhances usability. Protocol-decode software interprets bus data and displays it in protocol, hexadecimal, or binary format; and auto-configuration files facilitate quick logic-analyzer setup. Including probe cables, price for the FS2355 is $48,250. FUTUREPLUS SYSTEMS CORP., Colorado Springs, CO. (719) 278-3540.
