In 1995, I attended a seminar in which the presenter told us that copper was dead. This sort of statement is not new. The connector market is filled with armchair pundits who predict the demise of everything from D-Subminiature connectors (which are very much alive and kicking) to the V.35 telecommunications connector (which is as dead as the Dodo). This just goes to prove that it is almost impossible to predict the future trends of this industry with any certainty. Making … [Read more...]

New Intel FPGA Platform Features Samtec Interconnect
Transceivers. SerDes. XCVRs. Tx/Rx. Yada, Yada, Yada. FPGA designers want more of them. FPGA designers want them to be faster. Thankfully, the leading FPGA suppliers are answering the call. The Samtec blog features many solutions from Xilinx, but what about Intel? What options are they promoting? Intel® Agilex™ FPGA and SoCs Intel recently released their latest FPGA/SoC platform called Intel® Agilex™. This family leverages Intel's 10nm process technology and advanced architectures. … [Read more...]
Direct Connect To Silicon Package For High Performance
In this new video, Samtec's Kevin Burt introduces Samtec Direct Connect™. Direct Connect gives the benefit of exiting a higher number of lanes at low loss from the chip package, which can be very useful in both high performance computing and network switching applications, especially at 56G/112G PAM4. Samtec is the only company that offers both optical and copper connectivity to the same connector, giving designers the flexibility of choosing the appropriate solution for … [Read more...]
ICYMI: High-Performance Communications, Delivered
ICYMI. Doesn't that immediately induce fear of missing out? Oh wait, that's another acronym. FOMO. Yikes. In any case, technical experts from Samtec, eSilicon and Wild River Technology recently co-presented a webinar around the topic of High-Performance Communications, Delivered. High-Performance Communications, Delivered The webinar highlighted technical challenges system designers and engineers face on the way to 56 Gbps/112 Gbps PAM 4 data rates. What are some of those … [Read more...]
An Eye Catching High Performance Test Point System
Samtec Bulls Eye® test point systems are ideal for high-performance test applications because of their compression interfaces, small footprint, and high cycle count capabilities. Bulls Eye is now available in 50 GHz and 20 GHz designs, with a system up to 70 GHz in development. Bulls Eye is a popular product because: The grid design and smaller footprint enables smaller evaluation boards and shorter trace lengths. The high-density array design significantly saves PCB space compared to … [Read more...]
New Catalog, New Products
Yeah, we know it's the digital age, but we still print catalogs because a lot customers still ask for them. We print less than we used to, but they're still available. Our new F-219 catalog was just released and it includes at least 34 new product series. Most are available and some are soon-be-released, but here's a summary of some of the new products that I think are particulary cool: NovaRay™ Samtec’s NovaRay™ is an industry-leading high bandwidth, high-density interconnect … [Read more...]
Connector Designs To Address Data Rate and Density Challenges
Demand For High Data Rate As the need for bandwidth continues to increase, so does the need for higher data rates within a system. What was once one to three Gbps, then moved to 4 to 8 Gbps, and now we are approaching 28 Gbps and looking forward to 56 G. This trend was recently driven home at DesignCon 2018, where many exhibitors were demonstrating interconnects running at 112 Gbps PAM 4. Although the Datacom and Telecom industries are abuzz pushing these cutting-edge data rates, … [Read more...]
