Tektronix Announces DDR3-2133, DDR3-2400 Logic Debug, Protocol Validation Solution

Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, today announced the next generation of DDR3 probing solutions for logic debug and protocol validation using the Tektronix TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers with support for DDR3-2133 MT/s and DDR3-2400 MT/s. This is the highest performing DDR3 protocol test solution in the market today.

With the introduction of the new high-speed DDR3 interposer for DIMM form factor, Tektronix enables customers to reuse their existing TLA7BBx modules to acquire Address, Control, Command and Data signals for all DDR3 speeds -- ranging from DDR3-800 MT/s to DDR3-2400 MT/s as well as Low Voltage DDR3. The new interposer is the first to use Tektronix ultra-high performance SiGe hybrid ASIC technology to provide true analog insight at every DDR3 I/O. The new Interposer is designed to maintain signal integrity on the target by providing reduced probe loading when compared to other commercially available interposer solutions.

Across all computing segments, there is strong demand for faster and higher memory capacities together with lower power consumption. JEDEC continues to add higher speed grades to the DDR3 standard and is moving toward a new DDR4 specification. With its new interposer architecture, Tektronix is not only supporting today's higher speed DDR3 requirements but also setting the stage for rapid support of DDR4 as that standard moves forward into the market.

"The industry is pushing the performance envelope on DDR3 memory to keep pace with ever more demanding applications," said Dave Farrell, director of the Digital Analysis Product Line for Tektronix. "Our DDR3 solutions provide design engineers with the most complete, high performance tools for logic debug and protocol validation of the DDR3 interface at an industry leading price point. We are well positioned to support high speed DDR3 and also the emerging DDR4 standard."

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
