[. . . ] One of the most difficult tasks in characterizing Rambus signals is deciphering between the Read and Write cycles. The TDSRBS1 application addresses that by analyzing the data, automatically determining the correct cycle, and performing the appropriate measurement. With the double-pumped data architecture of Rambus® components, another challenge is characterizing both clock edges of data. TDSRBS1 allows analysis of the Odd and Even data fields. ® TDSRBS1 Rambus Timing Analysis Software is a software package from Tektronix that delivers industry standard Rambus technology timing analysis capabilities. It comes on floppy disks, is easily installed in a TDS oscilloscope, and doesn't require any external processing or connections. After installation, the application is accessible from the oscilloscope front panel. Coupling TDSRBS1 with the TDSJIT1 Jitter Analysis and TDSPSM1 Processor Specification SW packages, you have the most comprehensive timing analysis measurements available. MINIMAL RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION The extremely fast rise-times, high frequency clock, read/write deciphering and single-shot requirements of Rambus Data and Clock signals on all four channels requires the following configuration for using TDSRBS1. Instrumentation other than the minimal recommended configuration below will result in measurement results that are not accurate. 1 TDS694C 3 GHz, 10 GS/s oscilloscope w/Option HD 2 P6248 1. 7 GHz differential probes 2 P6249 4 GHz active probes 4 PPM203B Articulated arms TEKTRONIX DIGITAL OSCILLOSCOPES SUPPORTED TDS500D, TDS600C, TDS700D Series oscilloscopes with Option HD.
