Using LeCroy’s WaveScan to Isolate DDR2 Read/Write Cycles
(LAB_WM776)
Characterizing DDR2 memory devices
requires the ability to isolate read and
write access cycles. In DDR2 memory
the read and write operations can be dis-
tinguished by the timing relationships
between the strobe and data lines as Figure 1: DDR2 waveforms showing the timing relationship between the
shown in figure 1. In read operations the
data changes are synchronous with the strobe (red trace) and the data (yellow trace)
