Keysight introduces LPDDR6 solution for end-to-end memory design and test workflows
Delivers complete design and validation solution for Low-Power Double Data Rate 6 (LPDDR6) memory in mobile, client computing, and AI applications.
Keysight Technologies has introduced the Low-Power Double Data Rate 6 (LPDDR6) design and test solution, a complete design and test solution to support the next technology wave for memory systems. The solution significantly improves device and system validation, providing new test automation tools necessary for advancing AI, especially in mobile and edge devices.
The memory market is evolving due to the rising demand for high-performance computing, AI, and energy-efficient mobile applications. LPDDR6 significantly enhances performance and efficiency to support next-generation compute system requirements, making it a crucial upgrade for contemporary devices.
Test complexity has grown with the adoption of next-generation memory devices such as LPDDR6, HBM4, and GDDR7. These technologies demand advanced test methods to ensure reliability and performance, and reducing test times while maintaining accuracy is a constant challenge.
Keysight’s complete workflow solution consists of transmitter and receiver test applications and the Advanced Design System (ADS) Memory Designer workflow solution. The LPDDR6 test solution can be paired with Keysight EDA software and the Keysight Memory Designer bundle to achieve faster design confidence from simulation to verification and test. The LPDDR6 test automation solution is based on Keysight’s UXR oscilloscope and high-performance M8040A Bit Error Ratio Tester.
LPDDR6’s impact is expected to reach beyond mobile devices. The new memory standard’s combination of high performance and power efficiency makes it particularly suitable for AI and machine learning applications, high-speed digital computing, automotive systems, data centres, and other edge applications areas where the balance between processing power and energy consumption is crucial.
