This demo is an optical interconnection between two FPGAs, with a Xilinx Development Card and two FMCs (FPGA mezzanine cards), one from TechWay and the other from Crossfield Technology. This is 8 lanes of 14 … [Read more...]
3D Models in Under a Minute, No Login Required
The number of 3D models requested from Samtec.com has skyrocketed over the last few years. Our previous online 3D model tooling worked fairly well, and our internal support group was able to accommodate requests when it didn't, but being the connector industry service leader, we just weren't satisfied with the user experience and speed of that old tooling, and neither were a number of our web users. Because of this, one of our main goals with the website this year has been to beef up our … [Read more...]

Optimize Bandwidth With The Signal Integrity Group and Teraspeed
You can’t talk about electronics without talking about the ever-increasing need for bandwidth. Samtec interconnect products are designed to optimize signal integrity by focusing on the connector footprint configuration, pin geometry, and plastics and dielectrics, to list just a few of many design considerations. But even the “fastest” connector, by itself, has limited bandwidth performance. Obviously addressing these increased bandwidth requirements necessitates a systems-level approach, … [Read more...]

Samtec and One Stop Systems Help Detect Gravity Waves
The scientific community recently was abuzz as the existence of gravitational waves has been confirmed. Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitation waves 100 years ago with his general theory of relativity. Do you still remember E=mc2? You better! Gravitation waves are ripples in the spacetime continuum that provide scientists with details about this history of the cosmos. They are produced by cosmic events such as the combining of two black holes. While … [Read more...]
Your “Tech Specs” Pages Just Got a Major Upgrade
The web team at Samtec has just completed its most recent major release, which is one we've been waiting to bring you for quite some time. This comes to you in the form of a new "Technical Specifications" page, which is the heart and soul of product research on Samtec.com. On this page, you can perform research on a series level (QSE, TSW, SEAF, etc) by accessing various types of product documentation without the need for a login (yes, even real-time 3D models).
