Seasim Software Package
The PCI Express 3.0 describes a method to simulate 8GT/s channel compliance using a statistical data eye simulator. To help members perform this simulation, a free open source tool called Seasim is provided below. This tool has been tested by members of the Electrical Working Group on multiple channels and has reached version 0.54 which should be useful for members designing 8GT/s systems.
The download comes with the normal disclaimers for free software; however, as we want this tool to be useful for all members, please provide feedback to administration@pcisig.com on any problems you find so that we can improve this tool over time.
