Utilities
Description
The Stimulus defines how to create the waveform and the number of symbols to simulate in a SerDes Toolbox™ model. You can directly specify a PAMn symbol pattern or define a binary to PAMn mapping scheme.
When you enable clock forwarding in the SerDes IBIS-AMI Manager dialog box, you can use the Stimulus block to generate clock times from an external clock times array or waveform.
Ports

Data Types: double
Parameters

Use recommended simulation stop time — Set recommended simulation stop time as simulation stop time
on (default) | off
Select to directly set the Recommended simulation stop time as the simulation stop time. By default, this option is selected.
Recommended simulation stop time defines the minimum time the simulation must run for meaningful results. It is calculated by multiplying the Sample Interval from the Configuration block with the Number of symbols.
Waveform creation method — Define how stimulus waveform is created
Random Symbols
(default) | Serial PRBS
| Symbol Pattern
| Binary Pattern
| Symbol Voltage Pattern
| Sampled Voltage
| Parallel PRBS
Define how the stimulus waveform is created:
Random Symbols
— Randomly generate symbols directly from a uniform distribution.Serial PRBS
— Define a binary sequence and map to a higher order modulation symbol. The mapping sequence depends on the modulation scheme defined in the Configuration block.Symbol Pattern
— Directly define the symbol pattern as an integer from 0 to (Number of modulation levels – 1).Binary Pattern
— Directly define the binary pattern and map to a higher order modulation symbol. The mapping sequence depends on the modulation scheme defined in the Configuration block.Symbol Voltage Pattern
— Directly define the voltages of a symbol spaced pattern.Sampled Voltage
— Directly define a sample interval spaced waveform.Parallel PRBS
— Utilize multiple PRBS streams to form PAM4, PAM8 , PAM16, and PAM32 symbols. You can define up to 5 PRBS streams for PAM32. NRZ modulation scheme uses a single PRBS stream. Other modulation schemes use the random symbols waveform creation method.
