Neumonda’s Octopus DRAM tester has been shortlisted for the Electronics Excellence Awards under the Test & Measurement category.
Based on an Intel Raptor Lake CPU, Neumonda designed its Octopus DRAM tester as a small, lightweight, and affordable test board that can test not only one DRAM technology, but DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4, and LPDDR5 components at speeds of up to 6.4Gb per second. Traditionally, test boards can only test one DRAM technology or generation.
The Octopus DRAM Tester consists of six individual tiles, each with an Intel Raptor Lake CPU, simulating a motherboard. On the back of each board, Octopus is fitted with Device-under-Test (DUT) boards that have sockets for up to 32 components, totalling 192 components per board. These can be replaced with sockets for modules.
A Raspberry Pi compute module controls the test setup and the configuration of the Neumonda test patterns, then transfers the results to a network or Cloud database for final evaluation. This simplifies the tester’s handling, as no wiring needs to be considered.
Neumonda’s x86-based application testing concept combines four-corner testing of high and low voltage and high and low temperatures with its own test software that doesn’t require any manufacturer-proprietary IP. Furthermore, Neumonda’s test software not only allows testing of refresh timings but also digital timings, such as tRCD (Row Address to Column Address Delay timing) and tRP (Row Precharge time), with margins to ensure normal operation.
