Wondering what people use for generating stimulus for PCI Express channel simulation. My understanding is that it takes millions of bits of data to generate a worse case eye diagram. I have been using the following: LFSR(0 1V 1n 5ps 5ps 'data_rate' 1 [7,4,1] rout=0) Which I think came with an example file for one of my models. Since it is only 7 bits the pseudo random pattern will be at most 127 bits long and it is not 8b10b encoded. So my thoughts are to use a much longer sequence and run it through an 8b10b encoder. I found Verilog code to do this but now I have to figure out how to incorporate it into an Hspice simulation.
