"Agilent has been working with Rambus since 1991 on an effective volume production test solution for Rambus memory components," said Laura Fleming, director, Alliances and Infrastructure at Rambus Inc. "We are pleased to have them back in our booth again this year." "We will be featuring Agilent's 95000 High-Speed Memory (HSM (1) (Hierarchical Storage Management) The automatic movement of files from hard disk to slower, less-expensive storage media. The typical hierarchy is from magnetic disk to optical disc to tape. ) series -- the industry's first 32-site RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) Pronounced "r-d-ram."

Rambus licensed its memory designs to semiconductor companies, which manufactured the chips. production test system," said Gayn Erickson, project manager for Agilent's High-Speed Memory business. "Agilent is the only company providing complete engineering solutions for Rambus development all the way through high-volume production test." About Agilent's Complete Solutions for Rambus Development and Production Test Agilent's 95000 HSM series offers a complete high-speed memory test solution for data rates up to 1Gbit/sec. The 95000's Test Processor-per-Pin architecture provides complete memory test resources for up to 32 sites, including an algorithmic pattern generator and logic test capability behind every pin. -0-
In addition, designers can do the following:
- characterize printed circuit-board impedance using the
Agilent 54750A high-bandwidth oscilloscope with
single-ended and differential TDR;
- verify signal integrity of the 800MHz clock using Agilent's
Infiniium oscilloscope;
- validate Rambus channel performance using the Agilent
81200 multichannel data generator and analyzer; and
- debug and observe the behavior of bus transactions using
the Agilent 16702A logic analysis system and the
FuturePlus System's FS2222 Direct Rambus Probe.
