DRCG Tool
Applications of DRCG Tool
• Characterize the effect of the second phase aligner stage of the DRCG on a cycle-by-cycle basis as
specified in the Rambus DRCG specification.
Overview
The purpose of this tool is to provide an easy to use graphical user interface for the analysis, debug and
characterization of clock signals using Adjacent Cycle Jitter Statistics as required for Rambus DRCG
devices. The tool takes advantage of the SIA-3000's unique capability of measuring precision time
intervals of sequential timing events. Through precision capture of adjacent time intervals, the user can
accurately understand the cycle by cycle period adjustments various hardware in the clock generation
circuit are doing.
