With our last web update, we brought you several new additions to our on-site search, a new Microelectronics web experience, and our new 2017 product overview guide. In September, the updates to search came to a close (for now), we've added a few new content pages, and we began work on several architecure upgrades to increase the performance of Samtec.com. These will pave the way for our next set of applications coming in 2018 and beyond. Here is the summary of our major web updates for … [Read more...]
Comparing Base Metals In Connectors
I’ll start this blog with two questions. First, what are the major costs to build a connector? Second, which of these are the bigger costs? In other words, what is the most expensive part of a connector? (Quick aside: I can’t speak for all connector companies when it comes to costs. The majority of examples I’m using in this blog relate to Samtec interconnects, but I bet the principles apply to other connector companies as well.) Connector Costs The major costs in a connector are … [Read more...]
New Optical Data Interface Adopts Samtec FireFly™ As Physical Layer
Emerging applications in 5G communications, mil/aero systems, high-speed data acquisition, phased-array radar and communication research will support faster data rates than current generation solutions. Developing and testing these high-performance applications requires advanced instrumentation and embedded systems. Current generation instruments, processors, storage, and embedded devices communicate over copper interfaces in standard form factors and traditional bench instrument … [Read more...]
NVIDIA Jetson Platforms Connect via Samtec SEARAY™ Open Pin Field Arrays
The growth of system-on-modules (SOMs) in embedded computing presents a paradigm shift in embedded design. Legacy electronics systems typically leveraged discrete chip-down designs. The circuit designer was responsible for the selecting, designing and routing of the CPU, Memory, I/O, power and analog circuitry within their application. EEs continuously met the technical challenges presented before them. As Moore's Law moves along, system-level electronic design using the discrete … [Read more...]
Samtec Releases New Low-Profile PCI Express® Edge Card Connector
A low-profile object is defined as lower or slimmer than what is typical. Samtec’s new low-profile PCI Express® Gen 4 edge card connector fits the bill. It is designed to meet the industry demands for greater density and higher performance in compact electronics. Low-Profile Saves System Space This new low-profile edge card connector (PCIE-LP Series) is PCI Express® Gen 4 compliant and supports one, four, eight and sixteen links for different bandwidth requirements. It also features Edge … [Read more...]
Samtec Expands ExaMAX® High-Speed Backplane Connector System With New DMO Options
Networking switches and hubs in next-generation hyperscale data centers must support increased port density and higher data rates. In combination with increased processing power, system designers are leveraging the inherent advantages of direct mate orthogonal architectures when compared with traditional backplane systems. Samtec supports orthogonal backplane architectures with new DMO options from within the ExaMAX® High-Speed Backplane Connector System. Samtec ExaMAX® DMO … [Read more...]
More Than Just Connectors: Samtec’s Interconnect Processing Group
So you've finally found the right connector for your design. With low stack heights, SnPb finish on the tail, and a highly rated normal force, this should solve your signal integrity problems and be the connector/cable of your dreams, right? Well first of all, if you dream about connectors, something may be off. More importantly, interconnect processing may also be involved in fully designing any of Samtec's interconnect solutions into your design. Samtec's Interconnect Processing Group … [Read more...]
Top Ways to Find Your Product on Samtec.com
Everyone likes to browse the web a little bit differently. Some of us love images, while others are happy to browse text-based webpages all day long. This is why we've built a variety of different tools on Samtec.com over the years to assist you with finding the products you need for your application. In no particular order, here are the top ways to find your products on Samtec.com. Picture Search Picture Search is a visual tool, which allows you to navigate through our product … [Read more...]
Xilinx Features FireFly on VCU118 FPGA Dev Kit
You can do a lot in three minutes. From counting to 180 to making toast, the possibilities are endless. However, our good friend Steve Leibson at Xilinx, encourages you to use your three minutes to take a look at our new video featuring Samtec's FQSFP cable on Xilinx VCU118 FPGA. We couldn't agree more. 28Gbps FireFly Loopback in Action Steve goes on to state in his blog: "Samtec recently posted a 3-minute video demonstrating its FireFly Micro Flyover Cable … [Read more...]
QSFP-DD MSA Releases Latest Hardware Specification
The battle for next-generation optical transceivers remains active. The three leading specifications duking it out include COBO, OSFP and QSFP-DD. While all have their pros and cons, the industry continues to sort out the best solutions for the front panel and mid-board optical engines. What is QSFP-DD? Current QSFP solutions meet the existing demands of the telecom/datacom industries. The QSFP-DD MSA focuses on a next generation high-density, high-speed pluggable backwards … [Read more...]
