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
