RAMCHECK LX Test Times
Q. How long does it take RAMCHECK LX DDR2/DDR1 to test a memory module?A. It depends on the size and structure of the module, and which tests are performed.
Our proprietary test program is divided into sub tests: BASIC test, EXTENSIVE test, and AUTO-LOOP test. The BASIC Test is the first test performed by RAMCHECK, optimized to be performed in the least amount of time.
The following table illustrates some sample test times with JEDEC-standard modules. Please note that timing may change, depending upon improvement and changes to test algorithms.
| Size | BASIC Test Time | EXTENSIVE Test Time |
| 4Mx64 (32MB SDRAM) | 3.6 sec | 52.1 sec |
| 8Mx64 (64MB SDRAM) | 3.7 sec | 52.8 sec |
| 16Mx64 (128MB SDRAM) | 7.1 sec | 1 min 08 sec |
| 32Mx72 (256MB SDRAM) | 7.2 sec | 1 min 51 sec |
| 32Mx64 (256MB DDR) | 6.7 sec | 42.2 sec |
| 64Mx72 (512 MB DDR) | 13.1 sec | 1 min 11 sec |
| 128Mx72 (1GB DDR) | 23.5 sec | 1 min 16 sec |
| 256Mx72 (2GB DDR) | 40.5 sec | 1 min 31 sec |
| 32Mx72 (256MB DDR2) | 8.0 sec | 1 min 57 sec |
| 64Mx72 (512 MB DDR2) | 12.2 sec | 2 min 11 sec |
| 128Mx64 (1GB DDR2) | 24.3 sec | 2 min 38 sec |
| 256Mx72 (2GB DDR2) | 40.5 sec | 3 min 06 sec |
| 512Mx72 (4GB DDR2) | 1 min 31 sec | 6 min 07 sec |
| 2Gx72 (16GB DDR3) | 3 min 17 sec | 8 min 12 sec |
The BASIC test is sufficient for most of your regular screening and verification tests, since each memory cell is tested several times. The BASIC test also provides complete structure and speed information and it manages to complete all the device wiring checks. However, the BASIC test may not detect intermittent and/or pattern sensitivity problems due to its short execution time.
The EXTENSIVE test may take several minutes as it performs quite a few test phases. You can easily customize the RAMCHECK test program to skip any EXTENSIVE test phase in accordance with your preference. The RAMCHECK LX manual includes details on what is accomplished at each test phase so that you can decide which test phases may be skipped in your customized test. Of course, skipping a test will shorten the overall test time.
The AUTO-LOOP is our burn-in test, and therefore will run until you abort it.
