EECALC announces the release of its EYECALC eye diagram simulation software.
January 17, 2007 (Press Release) --
Bangalore, January 17, 2007:
EECALC, a provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software utilities today announced the release of its EYECALC behavioral eye diagram simulator.
Serialization of high-speed data interfaces is a rapidly growing trend in both consumer electronics as well as networking equipment. Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks, USB 2.0, PCI Express graphics cards, and HDMI serial video interfaces are all available at the neighborhood electronics store. The data rates of these standards are well in excess of 1 Gbps. The benefits of serial interfaces include a reduced physical form factor, greater I/O capacity, and lowered electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Owing to their high signalling rates, serial data signals become considerably distorted by passage through media such as cabling and printed circuit board (PCB) traces. The physical mechanisms underlying such distortion are electromagnetic in nature, including signal loss, dispersion, and echos.
An eye diagram is an oscilloscope representation of how such distortions affect the transmission of binary data symbols through a real-life channel. It provides a ready graphical snapshot of the signal integrity in the channel, which in turn determines the Bit Error Rate (BER).
EYECALC is a low cost, easy to use eye diagram simulator targeted at designers of high-speed serial physical layers. It offers a number of powerful features such as behavioral channel modeling, Dual Dirac capability, pre-emphasis, jitter estimation, and custom eye masks. Apart from the eye diagram itself, EYECALC computes the BER as well as bathtub curves, with capability to adjust both the sampling level and phase at the receiver.
In addition EYECALC displays the channel impulse response as well as the frequency response (magnitude and group delay). Both graphical and tabular views are available. Simulation parameters and results can be exported to a spreadsheet or saved as an image.
EYECALC is available for single computer use starting at $89 per license. EECALC has announced a limited time offering of free upgrades to EYECALC for one year from purchase.
