Failure Analysis
Systematic Memory Failure Analysis Flow
Step-by-step methodology for isolating and characterizing memory subsystem failures from system level to silicon.
## Step 1: System-Level Observation
Document the failure mode — boot failure, bit errors, thermal throttling, or complete system crash.
## Step 2: Channel-Level Isolation
Use our memory test cards to isolate the failure to a specific channel, rank, or bank group.
## Step 3: Signal-Level Analysis
Capture eye diagrams and perform timing analysis to identify marginal signals.
## Step 4: Physical Debug
For persistent failures, use probing techniques to examine the physical signal integrity at the ball or via level.
