This paper introduces an accumulative prediction method to predict the eye diagram for high speed signaling systems. We use the step responses of pull-up and pull-down to extract the worst-case eye diagram, including the eye height and jitter. Furthermore, the method produces the input patterns of the worst-case intersymbol interference. The algorithm handles signals of either symmetric or asymmetric rise/fall time. Experimental results demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
