RAMCHECK LX DDR3 Memory Tester
Introducing the latest state-of-the-art
memory tester from INNOVENTIONS, the RAMCHECK LX DDR3.
Featuring a large, vivid display (much larger and much
brighter than the RAMCHECK), USB connectivity and the
latest components, RAMCHECK LX DDR3 makes testing DDR3
DIMM, SO-DIMM and LRDIMM
memory fast and hassle-free. It also works with the
new DDR4 Series adapter, the
DDR2 240-pin and 184-pin DDR Pro adapters.
The RAMCHECK
LX DDR3 is expandable. It's compatible with all existing
RAMCHECK adapters, allowing current RAMCHECK users to take
full advantage of the LX's features and capabilities with
no hassles.
RAMCHECK LX requires no setup to use. Just turn the RAMCHECK LX on, insert a memory module into the test socket and then press the start button. That's all it takes!
See how easy it is to use RAMCHECK LX DDR3 for yourself:
RAMCHECK LX DDR3 is both modular and very user friendly. In fact, RAMCHECK LX DDR3 includes features found in testers that cost 10 times more!
 |
RAMCHECK LX DDR3 includes a large, vivid, high-contrast display measuring 2.7" x 1.43" (69mm x 36.5mm). Easily viewable at an angle, up to 3-4 feet away. Seen here is the startup screen once the RAMCHECK LX DDR3 is turned on. |
| Basic Test | |
 |
Basic Test screen shows the size, the speed, the voltage, the test pattern, the module's bank and the CAS Latency. This example shows a 512Mx64 module testing at 1066MHz with an automatic setting of CAS Latency to the default value of CL=7 for this frequency. The test voltage is 1.50V. |
 |
RAMCHECK LX displays the manufacturer's official speed rating of the module at the bottom line. The manufacturer specifies the speed rating based on expensive and very complex certifying test equipment. Here the module is specified for 1866MHz. |
 |
Basic Test screen also shows the time of test and the section of the module currently under test (in this example, B1/1 means Rank1, Bank1). The bottom line may show the speed rating in the PC3-xxxx JEDEC format. The 1866MHz module is PC3-14900. |
 |
Successful test phases conclude with a clear 'Pass' message and with distinguishing sound tones. Important parameters are shown in this screen, followed by a detailed test results summary screen. |
| Test Results | |
 |
Test results summary screens provide a wealth of information after each test phase. All summary screens are also added to the Test Log. |
 |
Test Log collects and retains all intermediary test results while the memory devices undergo all of the test phases. The Test Log remains until a new test is initiated. The Test Log may be uploaded to a PC for printing via the USB interface. You can also save the file. |
 |
Each module is marked with a unique serial number, as shwon in this screen. The SPD chip of this module does not have a temperature sensor. |
 |
In addition to successful wiring tests, this screen shows detailed size information. Each chip is 512Mx8, using 16 rows and 10 columns addressing. |
| Extensive Test | |
 |
The EXTENSIVE Test performs various tests to establish memory quality. |
 |
VOLTAGE CYCLING performs tests under allowable voltage deviations from the recommended VDD setting. |
 |
MODE Test identifies various operational parameters of the device, including different bursts lengths and CAS latency settings. |
 |
VOLTAGE BOUNCE tests data retention during voltage variation between read and write. |
 |
MARCH UP/DOWN reveals adjacent cell interference problems. |
 |
CHIP HEAT MODE tests at elevated operating temperatures. |
 |
FINAL TEST repeats the general Basic Test at the end of the Extensive Test flow. |
 |
Successful Extensive Test concludes with a clear 'Pass' message and with distinguishing sound tones. Important parameters are shown in this screen. |
 |
AUTO LOOP tests memory with endless pattern changes. Great for burn-in testing. |
 |
The RAMCHECK LX provide advanced setup features. Certain timing parameters may be selected graphically as shown here. |
 |
Make changes "on-the-fly" to test parameters with the push of a button. |
| SPD Editor | |
 |
The device's SPD can be conveniently viewed, edited and programmed on the RAMCHECK LX. You can also use our advanced SPD features in the PC RAMCHECK LX communications program. |
The test process for the RAMCHECK LX DDR3 follows the same test flow as the older RAMCHECK model. Each module's type, size, and structure are automatically detected, and the test flow follows our standard Basic Test, Extensive Test, and Auto-Loop process.

The RAMCHECK DDR3 tester can perform DDR3 tests at actual test frequencies up to 1066MHz. Modules designed for 1333MHz and 1600MHz (as well as future DDR3-1800, 1866, 2000, etc.) can be functionally tested on the DDR3 adapter but at a reduced frequency. The DDR3 test engine can achieve 1333MHz internal diagnostic speeds. Please see the product specifications for futher details.
