DDR3 Detective Row Hammer Detection

  • Helps find those unexplained memory errors!
  • Tracks and counts every ACTIVATE command
  • Indicates if thresholds are crossed
  • Output displays rank and bank of rows that show excessive ACTIVATE commands
  • Exact Row Address indicated
  • Address Range feature makes Row Hammer Detection even more accurate!
