tDSS, DQS Falling Edge to CK Setup Time - Test Method of Implementation

The purpose of this test is to verify that the time interval from the falling edge of the data strobe (DQS
falling edge) output access time to the clock setup time, is within the conformance limit as specified
in the JEDEC Standard JESD79E.

Signals of Interest

Based on the test definition (Write cycle only):
•
•
Signals required to perform the test on the oscilloscope:
•
•
•
Optional signal required to separate the signals for the different Ranks:
•

Obtain the parameters and settings from the Configuration page.
Pre-condition the scope settings. Verify the actual DUT speed against the user speed selection at
the Setup page.
Perform signal checking on all the signals in-use in the measurement to ensure that it can be
triggered during the test. This includes Vp-p, Vmin, Vmax and Vmid of each signal.
Perform signal skew checking on the DQ-DQS to ensure that it can be triggered during the
Read/Write separation later.
Chip Select (CS) option is only applicable if the user has selected "Yes" for the Verify Selected
Rank Only option in the Configuration page. It uses the CS-DQS for signal separation. Else, by
default, the DQS-DQ is used for signal separation.
Use the InfiniiScan feature with the Setup time and Hold time to find and capture the Read cycle.
