1 Introduction to W6600-Series

Interposers

The W6600A-series LPDDR4 BGA Interposers enable probing of 200-pin JEDEC standard footprint directly at the ball grid array using the Keysight U4164A logic analyzer. These interposers provide you:

• single touch probing of DQ signals

• capture of CA, Control, and DQ signals at data rates tested up to 3200MT/s.

• access to LPDDR4 DQ signals above 2.5Gb/s without double probe load by utilizing the Quad Sampling features of a U4164A logic analyzer module.

A W6600A-series interposer interposes between the DRAM being probed and the PC board where the DRAM would normally be soldered. The interposer is designed to be soldered to the PCB footprint for the DRAM on top of either the LPDDR riser included with the W6600-series BGA interposer or an optional Grypper socket (not included with the interposer) or both. The DRAM being probed is then soldered to the top side of the interposer.

Each DRAM signal in the common footprint passes directly from the bottom side of the interposer to the top side of the interposer.

Currently, in this series, Keysight provides the following interposers:

W6601A LPDDR4 BGA Interposer, 200-ball, 2-wings

W6602A LPDDR4 RC BGA Interposer, 200-ball, rigid

All probing including BGA interposers, become a part of the system under test when installed. Maximum data rates and performance results will vary by systems under test, BGA rework, and probing irregularities.

Compatibility with Logic Analyzer Modules

The W6600-series interposers are compatible with the Keysight U4164A AXIe-based logic analyzer module.

All W6600A-series interposers are tested for via connections through the interposer and signal trace connectivity to the wing connections.

A flexible interposer with two wings Provides access to partial DQ signals and only one channel of CA signals on an LPDDR4 200 ball DRAM. Refer to the chapter “Introduction to W6601A LPDDR4 BGA Interposer" on page 11.

A rigid interposer Provides access to all DQ and CA signals for both channels of an LPDDR4 200 ball DRAM. Refer to the chapter “Introduction to W6602A LPDDR4 BGA Interposer" on page 21.

Pin 1 Marking

NOTE

W6601A LPDDR4 BGA Interposer, 200-ball, 2-wings

The W6601A interposer has two flexible wings, each with a set of fingers for Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connections that connect it to a U4208A or a U4209A 61-pin ZIF probe/cable. For the left wing of the interposer, you use the U4208A probe/cable and for the right wing of the interposer, you use the U4209A probe/cable. These cables are then connected to the U4164A Logic Analyzer module’s pods.

The following figure shows a W6601A interposer’s top view.

Figure 1 W6601A Interposer

The W6601A interposer supports dual bank 16-bit data LPDDR4 200 ball DRAM that is being used as a single 32-bit channel device. The interposer probes a subset of the DQ data lines of both banks of such an LPDDR4 BGA 200 DRAM.

If the DRAM is used as two single x16 channel devices, then the W6601A interposer can probe only CA signals from channel A.

This interposer is optimized to work with the U4164A logic Analyzer module to achieve higher data rates with smaller KOV.

Software Configurations

The W6601A interposer can be used in the following three logic analyzer software configurations:

• 10 GHz Timing mode

• State mode under 2500 Mb/s (double edge clocking)

• State mode over 2500 Mb/s (single edge clocking)

This interposer effectively utilizes the single touch probing and quad sampling features of the U4164A logic analyzer module thereby allowing you to probe LPDDR4 DQ signals above 2.5Gb/s without double probe load. (In quad sampling, four samples are captured per clock edge at two different thresholds. Two samples are taken at each threshold.)

12 Keysight W6600A-series LPDDR4 BGA Interposers Installation Guide

Page 13

For probing signals under 2.5Gb/s, you can use the W6601A interposer with the U4164A module’s

Pin 1 Marking

NOTE

dual clock edge clocking and dual sample mode instead of the quad sample mode. The U4164A module’s dual sampling with dual thresholds allows you to capture separate Read and Write samples per clock edge.

W6601A Technical Features Summary

• Probes a JEDEC LPDDR4 BGA 200 footprint. Maximum of 10 mm wide X 15 mm long LPDDR4 DRAM package can fit on top of the W6601A interposer without an additional riser or a socket to provide clearance for the RC components.

• For the two flex wings of the interposer, the recommended bend radius is 2.5 mm (0.09") if flex is bent at a rigid portion of the interposer.

• Logic analyzer connections are made using U4208A and U4209A ZIF probe cables. The U4208A/U4209A ZIF connectors doors open on the top of the W6601A wings and away from these wings.

• An isolation Tip Resistor (100 Ohms) and RC components network is present on the W6601A interposer. No RC network present on the U4208A/U4209A probe cables. Also, there are no RCs on the bottom of the interposer.

• Has a power plane and separate ground planes - 1.1 V (VDD2/VDDQ) and 1.8 V (VDD1).

• Also provides VDD and VDDQ power filter capacitors to allow you to make power integrity measurements using the Keysight Power Rail probe and Infiniium S-series oscilloscope.

W6601A Riser

An LPDDR4 BGA 200 ball riser is provided with each W6601A interposer to allow the interposer to clear surrounding devices. Optionally, you can use a Grypper socket. It is not provided with the interposer.

The following figure displays a riser that is provided with the W6601A interposer.

Figure 2 Riser that accompanies the W6601A interposer

The LPDDR 200 ball riser includes ground planes for optimal signal integrity. Due to these ground planes, the riser’s alignment with the DRAM should be such that the TOP side of the riser must point towards the DRAM and the Pin 1 indicator on the riser must orient towards the “A1” pin of the DRAM.

To know how to solder the riser to the W6601A interposer and PC board, refer to the chapter

“W6600A-Series Interposers and Riser Soldering Guidelines" on page 31.

3 Introduction to W6602A LPDDR4 BGA Interposer

NOTE

W6602A LPDDR4 RC BGA Interposer, 200-ball, Rigid

The W6602A interposer is a rigid interposer that connects to U4207A zero ohm, Soft Touch Pro, single-ended probes/cables. These cables are then directly connected to the U4164A Logic Analyzer module’s pods.

The W6602A LPDDR4 BGA Interposer enables passive probing of 200-pin JEDEC standard footprint directly at the ball grid array using the Keysight U4164A logic analyzers.

The W6602A interposer with the U4207A cable passively monitors the LPDDR4 200-ball DRAM package. After tuning the Keysight logic analyzer, Command/Address bits can be reliably captured up to 3200 MT/s using this interposer and cable. However, at some data rates, the logic analyzer may not be able to provide an error-free capture of all DQ data bits.

The W6602A interposer can work in the following configurations of a 200 ball LPDDR4 DRAM:

• An LPDDR4 DRAM used as two 16-bit channels

• An LPDDR4 DRAM used as a single 32-bit channel

This interposer supports:

• probing of all CA and DQ/DQS signals for both channels of a 200 ball LPDDR4 DRAM.

• high speed data capture (data rates up to 3.2 Gb/s)

• lower system loading

If the DRAM is used as a single 32-bit channel device, then the W6602A interposer probes and uses only one set of CA signals as the single channel 32-bit configuration implies that the two CA channels on the DRAM are identical.

Pin 1 Marking

The following figure shows a W6602A interposer’s top view.

Figure 7 W6602A Interposer

The W6602A interposer has two connectorless footprints, J1 and J2 on its top side. A retention module (shipped with the U4207A Soft Touch Pro probe) is soldered to each footprint. Each retention module attaches to a U4207A probe. These probes are then connected to the Logic Analyzer module’s pods.

Software Configurations

The W6602A interposer can be used in the following seven logic analyzer software configurations:

• 10 GHz Timing mode

• CHA State mode 16 DQ under 2500MT/s (double edge clocking)

• CHA State mode 16 DQ over 2500MT/s (single edge clocking)

• CHA State mode 32 DQ under 2500MT/s (double edge clocking)

• CHA State mode 32 DQ over 2500MT/s (single edge clocking)

• CHB State mode 16 DQ under 2500MT/s (double edge clocking)

• CHB State mode 16 DQ over 2500MT/s (single edge clocking)

For probing signals under 2.5Gb/s, you can use the W6602A interposer with the U4164A module’s dual clock edge clocking and dual sample mode instead of the quad sample mode. Dual Sample state mode supports data rates on LPDDR4 up to 2500MT/s and is available with the U4164A-01G licensed speed grade option. The U4164A-02G licensed option supports all modes of operation and the highest data rates.

and Riser Soldering Guidelines

Recommended Soldering Guidelines / 33 Soldering Steps / 34 Interposer Fabrication Notes / 36

In this chapter, Keysight provides the soldering guidelines and information for W6600A-series interposer installation. However, Keysight cannot guarantee the successful interposer installation due to variations in processes and equipment used at individual BGA rework facilities.

Keysight recommends that interposers be installed by companies with specific expertise in this advanced type of processing.

Keysight does not endorse any specific BGA rework facility but recommends using a reputable and experienced BGA rework facility for the installation of BGA interposers. The following links are provided as a convenience to users investigating BGA rework facilities.

4 Interposers and Riser Soldering Guidelines

Recommended Soldering Guidelines

These guidelines are intended for anyone who has decided to install the winged / rigid BGA interposers themselves, or would like to provide guidelines to their regular contract manufacturer.

• The W6600A-series interposers are assembled using lead free or leaded soldering processes.

• Observe standard lead-free rework guidelines and processes when applying LPDDR memory devices and attaching a riser to an interposer and DIMM.

• Typical time-above-liquidus (220°C in the case of SAC305 solder) is 30 to 90 seconds with 60 seconds as the good nominal target.

• The peak temperature at the SAC305 solder joints should be a minimum of 235°C.

• It is best to limit the peak temperature on the package of the IC at a maximum of 245°C.

• To minimize heating effects on components mounted on the interposer assembly, a leaded solder process can be used to attach a riser, when it is compatible with your prototype debug and validation methodologies.

• The maximum processing temperature that the W6600A-series interposers can withstand is 260 °C for not more than 90 seconds.

• The W6600A-series interposers are supplied without solder balls. Depending on the exact attachment order, either leaded or lead-free solder may be preferred to attach the interposer to the DUT. The design of the interposer supports either choice.

Interposers and Riser Soldering Guidelines 4

Applicable only to the winged interposers in the series such as the W6601A interposer

• The flex wings on Keysight BGA interposers are made with Pyralux AP, the flex material, and Pyralux FR, the coverlay material with adhesive. Both of these materials have high moisture absorption characteristics, and always require baking prior to processing. Review the DuPont baking recommendation before processing.

• The flexible “wings” on the interposer may need to be bent upwards before soldering to avoid mechanical contact with components adjacent to the interposer on the DUT. If interposer wings are bent during the soldering process, precautions must be taken to ensure that the wings do not move during the process. Applying heat to a bent wing has the tendency to cause the wing to relax and this can result in movement during the soldering process that can damage the integrity of the solder joints.

4 Interposers and Riser Soldering Guidelines

Soldering Steps

These steps and guidelines apply only to the proper method of attaching BGA interposers to their target host boards. These do not attempt to provide instructions on how to attach BGA balls to the interposer, nor do these attempt to suggest a flux or a solder paste process.

1 Profile Development

a Profile must conform to the solder paste specification. Use the lowest possible temperatures

that will insure reflow.

b Profile must also provide a slow ramp up to temperature. c It is recommended that the profile be developed using a non-functional sample interposer in a

location on a sample target that is similar to the actual target.

d The highest processing temperature must be in the range of 240 °C to 260 °C. The maximum

processing time at the highest temperature must not exceed 90 seconds.

2Material Baking

a Prior to soldering, bake interposer (to eliminate moisture) for 2-10 hours at 250° F (121° C). b Shield flex areas. c Polyimide films absorb moisture quickly; therefore, soldering and reflow should be done within

30 minutes after baking.

d A 7 or 9 zone conventional oven is beneficial. A conventional oven is preferred over infra-red. e Vacuum ovens are also used to remove water. Lower temperatures, such as 150-175 F (65-80

C) can be used. This method also reduces the oxidation of the exposed copper pads.

f After baking, if the units are not reflowed within a few hours, these should be re-baked or

placed in a desiccant chamber.

3 Heat Shielding (applicable only to winged interposers in this series such as the W6601A

interposer).

a Kapton tape is applied to the bottom-side covering the gold contact area and wrapping

around the outside edge to the top-side.

b Three layers of Kapton tape are applied to the top-side covering the entire wing extending over

to the rigid board.

c Additional insulating of the wing area is done by applying a thick coating of the high

temperature peelable masking to the Kapton tape covering the entire area to reduce the exposure to the hot gas heat cycle.

4 Host assembly components must be shielded using Kapton tape, aluminum heat shield blanket,

or plates.

5 Site Preparation

a If the interposer is being installed onto a new board with gold pads, these pads should be

pre-tin to ensure the pads wet properly, and to lower the chance of oxidation.

b Add solder paste to the target board using a mini-stencil. This is recommended over using flux

only.

6 Interposer Reflow

a Use the lowest possible temp for reflow - Use a slow ramp up to temperature. b Aim the shielded wings of the interposer upwards (applicable only to winged interposers in this

series such as the W6601A interposer). The minimum bend radius must be 1.27mm (0.05 In) to insure that the copper foil does not fracture.

c Place the interposer using vision equipped BGA placement/reflow system such as an SRT. d Reflow per the prepared heating profile.

7 Memory placement

a Add staking epoxy to the four corners of the placed interposer, and cure at 150°C for 2

minutes. This time is defined from the moment the adhesive reaches the cure temperature. As

b Apply solder paste to the top-side of interposer. c Position memory using an SRT (or equivalent) with vision system for manual placement. d Reflow per the prepared heating profile.

8 Post Processing

a Remove flux residue. b Remove any Kapton tape heat shielding and peelable mask material. c Remove heat shielding from the target board.

Interposer Fabrication Notes

Operating Environment

The W6600A-series interposers are constructed of polyimide material that supports solder attachment of the interposer using the higher temperatures required by a lead-free solder process. The coefficient of thermal expansion for the interposer is 55 ppm/degree C. When operating in a soldered-down environment over a wide range of temperatures, the expansion coefficient of the interposer, DRAM, and system being probed must be matched to avoid stress related failure of the solder connections between the Interposer and attached components. The interposer material allows operation over an industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius (non-condensing), subject to the above constraint.

Mechanical Dimensions

When a W6600A-series interposer is soldered to a riser, flatness must be maintained on the order of

3.5 mils or less across the BGA footprint to maximize successful soldering to the interposer.

Step 1 - Soldering the W6601A Interposer

NOTE

The W6601A interposer needs to be attached to the JEDEC LPDDR4 BGA 200 footprint on the design to be probed. The desired DRAM is soldered to the top side of the interposer. This attachment may occur in any order (i.e. first solder the interposer to the DUT, and then solder the DRAM to the interposer, or first solder the DRAM to the interposer, and then solder the DRAM+interposer assembly to the DUT). The interposer is designed to tolerate lead-free soldering temperature profiles. However, it is always recommended to apply the minimum temperature required and the minimum number of heating/cooling cycles to reduce risk of any damage to the interposer.

The stack up of these soldered components is illustrated in the following figure.

Step 1 - Soldering the W6602A Interposer

NOTE

The W6602A interposer needs to be attached to the JEDEC LPDDR4 BGA 200 footprint on the design to be probed. The desired DRAM is soldered to the top side of the interposer.

The recommended soldering sequence is:

•Riser

•Interposer

•DRAM

The interposer is designed to tolerate lead-free soldering temperature profiles. However, it is always recommended to apply the minimum temperature required and the minimum number of heating/cooling cycles to reduce risk of any damage to the interposer.

The stack up of these soldered components is illustrated in the following figure.

There are five clock connectors on top of a W6602A interposer namely, J3, J4, J5, J6, and J7. The following diagram highlights these 2-pin clock connectors and also indicates what each of these pins represents.

Figure 15 W6602A clock connectors and pins for these connectors

To make clock qualifier connections, you use the Single Pin Headers (part number - W6602-60001) included in the W6602A shipment.

Figure 16 Single Pin Header

1 Solder the single pin headers into the clock connectors of the interposer from the top of the

interposer. Following are some of the recommendations for this soldering step.

• Use a soldering iron with a small tip.

• Use small diameter solder wire.

• The solder tip should touch the pad to ensure that solder wicks between the pin and pad.

CAUTION

While plugging in a flying lead into a clock connector on the interposer, ensure that the black wire of this lead aligns with the GND pin (square pin) of the clock connector and the gray wire with the signal pin (round pin) of the clock connector.

When you solder the single pin headers into the clock connectors, the shapes of the GND pins and signal pins get hidden beneath the soldered single pin headers. In such a situation, you can ensure the correct orientation of the flying leads by identifying the signal pin as the pin which is the closest to that signal’s name printed on the interposer.

Step 3 - Connecting the W6602A Interposer to U4207A Probes

The U4207A probes attach to the interposer by soldering the E5403A retention modules to the J1 and J2 connectorless footprints on top-side of the W6602A interposer.

A kit of 5 retention modules is included in the U4207A shipment. You can order additional retention modules kit (part number - E5403A).

NOTE

Step 4 - Connecting the U4207A Probe Pods to the Logic Analyzer Module Pods

Based on the type of DRAM configuration in which you are planning to use the W6602A interposer, the connection of U4207A probe pods to logic analyzer pods changes.

The W6602A interposer can work in the following configurations of a 200 ball LPDDR4 DRAM:

• An LPDDR4 DRAM used as two 16-bit channels

• An LPDDR4 DRAM used as a single 32-bit channel

For Two 16-bit Channels DRAM Configuration

Two U4207A probe cables and two U4164A logic analyzer modules are needed for a W6602A interposer used in this type of DRAM configuration setup.

For this type of DRAM configuration setup, you need to use the two U4164A modules as independent modules, one for each 16-bit channel. This allows you to have separate master clocks for probing the DRAM’s channel A and B by using master clocks of each of these two modules.

Connect the pods of the U4207A cables to the logic analyzer module pods are per the mapping given in the following table. (Even pods of the logic analyzer modules are NOT used.)

NOTE

For a Single 32-bit Channel DRAM Configuration

Two U4207A probe cables and two U4164A logic analyzer modules are needed for a W6602A interposer used in this type of DRAM configuration setup.

Connect the pods of the U4207A cables to the logic analyzer module pods are per the mapping given in the following table. (Even pods of the logic analyzer modules are NOT used.)

For this type of DRAM configuration setup, you need to use the two U4164A modules combined via cables to form a modules set representing one logical module. Refer to the installation guide of your logic analyzer module to know how to create a modules set. This guide is available on the module’s page on

www.keysight.com.

In this modules set, the bottom module acts as the clocking module providing the master clock for the 32-bit single channel setup.

NOTE

Figure 19 Connections between U4207A cables and Logic Analyzer pods for a single 32-bit channel DRAM

W6602A Interposer Footprints Pinout

The diagram below illustrates the pinout of the two connectorless footprints - J1 and J2 on top of a W6602A interposer.

W6602A Clock Connectors Pinout

NOTE

The diagram below illustrates the pinout of the five clock connectors - J3, J4, J5, J6, and J7 on top of a W6602A interposer. As described in a previous section, you connect the U4207A clock connection flying leads to these connectors.

Setting up the W6602A Interposer 6

Figure 21 W6602A Interposer Clock Connectors Pinout

Since the RESET_N signal is shared between Channel A and B of DRAM, there is only one clock connector (J6) on the W6602A interposer for the RESET_N signal. Therefore, only one channel has access to the RESET_N at a time. To allow a channel to access the RESET_N, you need to connect the appropriate flying lead of U4207A to J6.

To use this clock connector for Channel A of DRAM, connect the violet flying lead of the U4207A cable (connected to J2) to the J6 connector on interposer.

To use this clock connector for Channel B of DRAM, connect the orange flying lead of the U4207A cable (connected to J2) to the J6 connector on interposer.

If you are using two separate modules to capture Channel A and Channel B simultaneously, and need to include RESET in your trigger, then connect RESET to one of the channels and use the ability to arm one module from another from the trigger menus of the two individual modules.

If the design under test requires visibility of all CKE signals from both channels simultaneously, then an additional module for each module set will be required to connect to CKE2_CHA and CKE2_CHB and bring these into the trace capture using flying leads. CKE captured by an additional module can be seen in the trace and used as scan or trigger qualifiers.

Only signals routed into clock qualifier inputs on the master U4164A module in any module set can be used as clock qualifiers.

Loading a Configuration File

NOTE

When you install the Keysight B4661A Memory Analysis software package, a set of XML LPDDR configuration files is installed as a part of the standard unlicensed features of this package. Based on the software configuration (see page 12 and page 23) in which you want to use your W6600A-series interposer with the logic analyzer, you can load an appropriate configuration file from this set in the Logic and Protocol analyzer GUI.

Licensing is not required for obtaining or loading these configuration files.

When you load a configuration file, it will set up the buses and signals, add the LPDDR decoder tool, and add a listing tool in the Logic and Protocol Analyzer GUI. The LPDDR Decoder tool is a licensed feature of the B4661A software package.

To load a provided configuration file: 1 Close the logic analyzer GUI window, if it is open. 2 Navigate to the following folder that contains all the LPDDR configuration files.

Users/Public/Public Documents/Keysight Technologies/Logic Analyzer/Default Configs/Keysight/LPDDR Bus Decoder

3 Select the LPDDR bus type. 4 Select the BGA and then choose a configuration file corresponding to the bus size and speed. 5 Double-click the configuration file to open it.

Setting Up the Logic Analyzer for W6600A-Series Interposers 7

When you click on a configuration file, the Logic and Protocol Analyzer software will start and configure itself to use the decoder.

The logic analyzer Buses/Signals setup dialog allows you to assign descriptive labels to each analyzer channel that associate each channel with the particular DRAM and DRAM signal being probed.

If your unique multi-DRAM configuration is not covered by one of the default configurations, you can use the DDR Custom Configuration Creator tool installed with the B4661A Memory Analysis SW package to create your own custom LPDDR BGA configuration.

It is recommended that you use the Advanced Probe Settings (APS) for all signals on all W6600A-series interposers. For instructions, refer to the application note "Capture Highest DDR3 Data rates using Advanced Probe Settings" available at:

http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5991-0799EN.pdf?id=2284314.

To save a configuration file

After you set up the logic analyzer, it is strongly recommended that you save the configuration.

To save your work, select File>Save As... and save the configuration as an ALA format file.

ALA format configuration files are more complete and efficient than XML format configuration files. See the Logic and Protocol Analyzer online help for more information on these formats.

8 Making Power Integrity Measurements using W6600A-series Interposers

Overview

Besides probing the Clock/Data signals (as described in the previous chapters), you can also use the interposers available in the W6600A-series to probe power integrity signals on your DRAM. This allows you to measure noise, ripple, and transients on power rails and gain insight on power integrity issues. You can measure periodic and random disturbances (PARD), static and dynamic load response, programmable power rail response, and similar power integrity measurements.

Power Integrity Measurement Setup

To make power integrity measurements, you need the following Keysight products:

• W6600A-series Interposer

• Infiniium S-series DSO and MSO High-definition Oscilloscope

• N7020A Power Rail Probe that connects to one of the channel inputs on the front of the oscilloscope.

For connecting the Power Rail Probe, a number of options are available such as N7022A main cable and N7021A pigtail cable. To know more about this probe, refer to its user guide at:

www.keysight.com/find/N7020A

Correlating Power Integrity Measurements with Memory Analysis Measurements

You can also time correlate power integrity measurements with memory analysis measurements to gain rapid insight into power integrity issues. For instance, you can use these two measurement sets to correlate speed changes to level shifts on a power rail or to correlate higher bus utilization to spikes on a power rail.

To create a setup for these correlated measurements, you need:

• the W6600A-series interposer’s setup with a U4164A interposer for the memory analysis measurements. This setup is described in Chapter 6, “Setting up the W6602A Interposer”

• the W6600A-series interposer’s setup with an Infiniium S-series oscilloscope for the power integrity measurements. This is described in the previous topic.

You may configure the logic analyzer to trigger the oscilloscope or vice versa in this correlated measurements setup.

You can also view the oscilloscope’s power integrity traces in a logic analyzer’s waveform. This helps you correlate the logic analyzer signal flow with a power integrity trace.
