Article By : Prodigy Technovations Pvt. Ltd

Prodigy Technovations has launched its PGY-SSM-EV-Tester for electrical characterization of SD cards for UHS-I and eMMC for HS400 (eMMC5.1) specifications.

Bangalore-based Prodigy Technovations Pvt. Ltd has launched its PGY-SSM-EV-Tester for electrical characterization of SD cards for UHS-I and eMMC for HS400 (eMMC5.1) specifications. This innovative solution enables validation engineers to test the SD card and eMMC devices by a click of a button for different operating modes, and characterize hundreds of electrical and timing specifications, thereby saving significant validation time.

PGY-SSM-EV-Tester Setup

The PGY-SSM-EV-Tester provides the flexibility to select SD card, microSD card or eMMC device and its operating modes for testing purpose. It allows the user to place these devices in different modes and send read and write commands. The software communicates with the oscilloscope to acquire the clock, command, strobe and data signals over an ethernet interface, and then analyzes the acquired data for AC and DC characteristics of SD card and eMMC devices.

The PGY-SSM-EV-Tester makes hundreds of measurements for SD card and eMMC devices, and also checks for limits specified in standards document. It allows test engineer to write different test cases, and allows flexibility to vary the time delay between clock and command signal and validate the boundary specifications.

PGY-SSM-EV-Tester Software

Key features of the PGY-SSM-EV-Tester SD and eMMC AC/DC electrical measurement solution are as follows:

  • Supports eMMC 4.41, 4.51, 5.0, 5.1 and SD card 2.0/3.0 (UHS-I) Specifications
  • Supports host controller for eMMC and SD card and flexibility to place devices in operating modes
  • Exerciser capability to write different test cases and inject the traffic to devices
  • Control of eMMC and SD card host controller and oscilloscope signal acquisition for seamless measurement analysis
  • AC/DC measurements and report generation
