• A new toolkit for ASSET's ScanWorks platform for embedded instruments will allow memory suppliers to thoroughly validate the connectivity of their DDR3 memory chips with certain advanced Intel processors
• The ScanWorks DDR3 memory toolkit will verify the performance of the bus that connects DDR3 memory devices to Intel's processors based on the next-generation micro-architecture codenamed Sandy Bridge
• ASSET and Intel have been collaborating on validation and test tools that take advantage of Intel's embedded instrumentation technology, the Intel Interconnect Built-In Self Test (Intel IBIST)
• ASSET's ScanWorks platform for embedded instrumentation is the only environment with tools for Intel IBIST
• The ScanWorks DDR3 toolkit employs the Intel IBIST embedded instrumentation in an Intel processor to drive data patterns onto the bus that connects the processor to DDR3 memory devices
• Test patterns form the basis for tests that verify the read/write capabilities of the memory bus
• In addition, certain operational parameters on the bus, such as its voltage and signal timing, can be modulated
