Page 11: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction DDR3 and DDR4 are the third and fourth generation of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory. It is a continuation of the DDR memory technology that delivers higher speeds, lower power consumption and heat dissipation. It is an ideal memory solution for bandwidth hungry systems equipped with dual and quad core processors. Memory is utilized in virtually every electronic device and DDR memory has become the memory of choice. Each generation of DDR memory has doubled the data rate while reducing power requirements. Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 Overview The Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 Protocol Analyzer provides a platform for developing and debugging protocol issues in environments which allow DDR3 and DDR4 probing using the interposers connected to the front of the Kibra box. Currently, the Interposer Probes target DIMM and SODIMM sockets of various types. Contact Teledyne LeCroy for the most recent offerings of Interposers. DDR Command, control signals and address values are captured. No actual DDR data signals are captured. 1.1.1 Receiving Your Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 The analyzer package includes the following components: Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 identified in the packing list  Kibra Quick Start Guide  USB A‐B 2.0 cable, 2 meters  DDR3 or DDR4 Slot 1 Interposer cable assembly with power connector, sold sepa‐ ...

Page 13: Difference Between Kibra 380 Or Kibra 480
Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 Overview Teledyne LeCroy 1.1.4 Difference between Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 1. Kibra 480 supports both DDR3 and DDR4 Interposers. Kibra 380 only supports DDR3 interposers. 2. The Kibra 380 version of the interposers requires a stable DIMM_CLK to properly sample the DIMM signals. If the DIMM_CLK is not running, the probe will require 6us after the DIMM_CLK resumes before proper capture occurs. This can occur when recording DDR traffic during platform boot or during self refresh mode. This limitation can cause RC and MRS commands to be missed. The Kibra 480 does not have this limitation. CMD/ADD/CNTRL Bus and Process JEDEC Protocol The Analyzer observes CMD/ADD/CNTRL bus and processes JEDEC protocol requirements in real‐time. Errors can be seen in the Waveform view or the Listings view as well as in the Traffic Summary. Errors listed in the Traffic Summary have a Hyperlink directly to the Waveform and Listing view to allow quick viewing of errors. Clock-Based Timing The Analyzer features clock‐based timing. The clock times are based on the nominal DIMM speed selected in the Recording Options and samples are synchronized to the DIMM clock. DIMM Slot Protocol The Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 are able to track the DIMM slot protocol. They also have the ...

Page 22: External Trigger In
Teledyne LeCroy DDR Interposer 1.5.4 External Trigger In Edge detected. (Rising edge only) Voltage required: Signal needs to be > 800mV to see a logic "1" Signal needs to be < 400mV to see a logic "0" Accumulated Latency from SMA terminal to Recognition in FPGA: 70 ns (+/‐10 ns). Always active in Manual or Event Trigger mode, no additional software setting is required. An input voltage of is 540mV +/‐100 will cause a trigger condition which will be identified in the trace file. The latency on this trigger is approximately 120 ns. 1.5.5 Low Latency Read/Write Trigger Out The low‐latency SMA trigger out ports on the front of the analyzer operate continuously on Read/Write operations. The pulse occurs as soon as the Kibra 380 or Kibra 480 interposer is powered on. The analyzer SW does not need to be actively recording. The settings in the recording options tab have no effect on the low‐latency SMA trigger out feature. The Read/Write trigger out ports on the front of the analyzer generate a very short pulse width of about 1.25 ns (for 800 MHz DDR3) and relatively low amplitude of 560 mVp‐p (after 1‐m cable). This trigger out signaling differs from the LVTTL Trigger out on the back of the analyzer in order to shorten the cycle time when triggering on back‐to‐back Read or Write operations. This trigger out signaling is designed to allow the end user to initiate an acquisition on an oscilloscope and then use the trigger marker in the waveform to correlate transmission of the read or write commands with the actual DQ/DQS signals. The R/W trigger out latency is dependent on the signaling frequency: At DIMM Clock = 800 MHz/1600MTs: Delay is about 39.2 ns. At DIMM Clock = 667 MHz/1333MTs: Delay is about 42.2 ns. At DIMM Clock = 533 MHz/1066MTs: Delay is about 47.4 ns. *Plus the 2ns per foot for the SMA cable length Kibra DDR Protocol Analyzer User Manual ...
Page 23: Daisy Chaining
DDR Interposer Teledyne LeCroy 1.5.6 Daisy Chaining You can use multiple analyzer units for higher port count, by daisy chaining the units through the provided Sync In/Out interfaces on the analyzer back. Connect “Out” connectors to “In” connectors of the next unit in the chain. You must provide external hubs for connecting the host machine to these units using USB cables. You can daisy chain up to four units. Note: Because chain connections for daisy chained boards cause delay of signals, traffic on different boards is not completely time synchronized, with about 100 nanoseconds of difference between consecutive boxes.

Page 25: Crosssync Control Panel
CrossSync Control Panel Teledyne LeCroy CrossSync Control Panel The CrossSync Control Panel allows you to select analyzers for synchronization and manage the recording process. It supports a wide combination of Teledyne LeCroy’s flagship analyzers including PCI Express, USB, DDR, Serial ATA (SATA), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Fibre Channel (FC) and Ethernet. CrossSync is Teledyne LeCroy’s analyzer synchronization solution that enables time‐ aligned display of protocol traffic from multiple daisy‐chained analyzers showing packet traffic from multiple high‐speed serial busses. A lightweight software control panel allows users to select analyzers for synchronization and manage the recording process. Captured traffic is displayed using the latest analyzer software (in separate windows) with all the protocol specific search and reporting features. Captured packets are displayed in separate windows that share a common time scale. Navigating the traffic in either direction will scroll to the same timestamp in a synchronized window. The traces are displayed as separate trace files. When using the CrossSync option, users can access the full complement of analysis capabilities available within the individual Teledyne LeCroy software. Search, reporting, and decoding all operate normally (see “CrossSync Control Panel” on page 71). This feature is available with the Teledyne LeCroy DDR Protocol Suite application.

Note: Triggers shown in the Waveform and Listing views have a precision of  clocks during normal traffic (when Clock Enable is stable). Buffer Size The Analyzer Settings tab has the Buffer Size field where you can set the buffer size. The defaults are one segment of 30MB (or 3.75Msamples). The total size used is automatically displayed for you. You can use the slider button or click the up or down arrow to change memory usage for recording trace data. (Minimum size of memory is 1MB. Maximum size of Memory is 4GB (~512Mega Samples)). It is recommended that you limit the size of the capture buffer to half of the memory of your host machine to achieve the best performance. Trigger Position This defines the portions of the buffer which are used before and after the trigger. (It does not apply to snapshot recordings.) Post-Trigger You can set the amount of data to capture before and after the trigger, as a  percentage of pre‐trigger, between 1% and 99%. Position the post‐trigger slider to a percentage. This feature allows the evaluation of bus activity leading up to and after the triggering Event. Post‐trigger data is capture of the specified percentage of data after the triggering Event. It cannot be guaranteed and may be 0. This can occur for example, when the trigger event occurs and the system halts operation preventing any post trigger data from being collected. In such a case, the data display shows fewer than the specified data points after the triggering Event. K ibra DDR Protocol Analyzer User Manual...

Page 66 Teledyne LeCroy Recording Options Setup When this condition occurs, the sequence trigger should see an arm condition before the trigger. Trigger condition: This condition is the condition that causes an analyzer trigger.  The figure below shows the trigger sequence. Figure 2.33: Sequence Trigger Flow of Condition The following parameters should be carefully considered in defining sequence conditions for obtaining correct trigger results: All the conditions are based on the individual signals (see Figure 2.34 on  page 65), where the values selected are AND'ed with each other to get a result. For example, if you want to trigger on an MRS on Chip Select 1, you would set the Command Value to "Low Low Low" and the CS1# to "Low", all other CS#'s at "Don't Care". Alternatively if you want to trigger on any case where the RAS# CAS# and WE# are "Low", you would leave all the CS#'s at "Don't Care". For chip select signal, an “Any Chip Select” option is provided. This allows you  define an “or” condition on all ranks. This means that if other signal conditions occur on any other chip select, the engine considers it as a matched condition, regardless of the chip select. However, at least one chip select should be active to match the condition.

So, ODT0 "High" would be XXX1, and ODT2 "Low" would be X0XX, etc. Clock Present Clock Present triggers when either the clock is seen or the clock is disabled for a short period of time (see Figure 2.35 on page 66). This can be used to trigger on the clock going away for a period of time. This is done by using a sequence trigger as follows: Arm on Clock Present: Clock Disable. This will arm whenever the clock stops for a short time. Trigger After some number "x" of clocks (nClk). "x" is the amount of time that the clock is off that should cause a trigger.

Bank State View T eledyne LeCroy Bank State View The Bank State View provides a Bank by Bank view of the changing bus states. It is separated by bank to enable a more insightful picture of the activity in a way that is often obfuscated in a waveform view. While the waveform gives a chronological view of commands across the bus, the Bank State View allows the user to view and understand how the controller is accessing the ranks and banks to improve performance. The user can collapse/expand multiple signals into individual banks in a rank, show/hide ranks and banks, and zoom and scroll through the traffic on a specific bank. Click on the Bank State View icon to display the Bank State View. The navigation in the Bank State view is similar to the navigation in the Waveform view.

The view displays low power, pre‐charge, idle and active states. Expand the Rank to view all the Banks that comprise it, as shown in Figure 3.36.You can drag and drop banks within the rank to interchange the bank sequence. The Bank State View currently supports the following states: Idle The bank is precharged and there is no R/W activity in the bank. Active One row in the bank is activated and R/W commands are issued on different columns.

The Row Usage Report allows the user to define commands of interest within a row, sets of rows or the entire captured trace. The user can then define a reset to a cycle. The Report tallies the number of commands defined within each cycle with minimum, maximum and average per selected row. This is useful when trying to determine the min/max and average write command to an activated row. The user defines the rows desired, selects the Write Command, and resets on PRE/PREA. This generates a report showing the min/max and average number of writes per activate for the desired row or rows. The user should count the number of cycles or time the row was activated for a Write command. Another use of the report would be for determining "Row Hammering". The user defines the desired rows, the Activate command and the reset or cycle as a Refresh command. This allows the user to determine the number of activates to an aggressor row as well as a victim row before either were refreshed.

Page 159: V06 - Twtp Write To Precharge Delay
DDR3 and DDR4 JEDEC Timing Violations Summary T eledyne LeCroy 5.1.6 V06 - tWTP WRITE to PRECHARGE delay Defines the minimum interval between the point the Write Burst completes and the next precharge command to the same bank. tWTP is calculated as the sum of Write Latency (CWL + AL) + Write Recovery time (tWR) + [2 CKs (BC4) OR 4 CKs (BL8 or OTF)]. The write recovery time (tWR) starts at the first rising clock edge after the last write data. 5.1.7 V07 - tRTPx READ to PRECHARGE delay Defines the minimum external Read command to Precharge command spacing to the same bank (equal to AL + tRTP). tRTP is internal Read Command to Precharge Command Delay. (Note: minimum ACT to PRE timing, tRAS, must be satisfied as well) The minimum value for the Internal Read Command to Precharge Command Delay is given by tRTP.MIN = max (4 × nCK, 7.5 ns). For DDR3 systems with Additive Latency, tRTPx = AL + tRTP For DDR4 systems, it would be AL + tRTP + PL. 5.1.8 V08 - tRP PRECHARGE to a Valid Command The minimum interval between PreCharge and the next valid command is specified to ensure the active row is closed before the next valid command.

Teledyne LeCroy DDR3 and DDR4 JEDEC Timing Violations Summary 5.1.10 V10 - t RFC REFRESH to a Valid Command Defines the minimum interval between Refresh and the next valid command to the same bank. The table outlines the minimum interval while the maximum (between two refresh commands) is defined by 9 × Refresh Interval (tREFI). Speed 800 1066 1333 1600 1866 Grade Min 90 (ns) 5.1.11 V11 - tREFI REFRESH Interval A Refresh command needs to be issued every tREFI interval and a maximum of 8 Refresh commands can be postponed during SDRAM operation. Thus, in the event 8 Refresh commands are postponed in a row, the maximum interval between two Refresh commands would never exceed 9 × tREFI. After exiting Self‐Refresh Mode with one or more Refresh commands postponed, additional Refresh commands may be postponed to the extent that the total number of postponed Refresh commands (before and after the Self‐Refresh) will never exceed eight. During Self‐Refresh Mode, the number of postponed or pulled‐in REF commands does not change. Speed ...
