Rambus Selects Verigy's Solution For Testing Ultra-High-Speed Memory Devices
The Verigy V93000 HSM Series is the fastest memory tester available with at-speed I/O, at-speed memory core test performance and best-in-class software tools that enable Rambus to characterize the performance of these unique memory devices. The V93000 HX high-speed extension card extends the performance range of the scalable V93000 HSM Series to 12.8 Gbps, delivering the ultra-high speed required for XDR and future generations of Rambus leadership memories.
The XDR interface represents the next step in high-bandwidth interfaces for gaming, multi-core computing, and other consumer electronics applications, supplying up to five times more usable bandwidth to memory controllers than today's best competing memory technologies. The XDR product family provides the capability to scale data rates beyond 8.0 GHz and will provide chip and system designers with the features they need to achieve the highest performance using the fewest number of controller pins and DRAM devices. The ultra-high speed and accuracy of the V93000 HSM Series tester is available today and enables testing of these devices.
"Verigy offers the best ultra-high-speed memory tester on the market," said Andy Chan, Vice President of Engineering at Rambus. "Further, the collaboration of Rambus' and Verigy's world-class applications engineers has helped us speed our products to market with performance our computing and consumer electronics customers can count on."
"Rambus and Verigy have learned from each other, and our strategic teamwork together over the years has made the V93000 an even better platform for testing ultra-high-speed devices," said Pascal Ronde, Vice President of Sales, Service and Support, Verigy. "Because of that close work, Verigy set the standard for testing the first XDR DRAMs several years ago, and we're proud to say that together we're setting the new standard for coming generations of XDR products."
