Bob Hult, our friend at Bishop and Associates and Connector Supplier, recently published High Speed Signals Take The High Road on the Connector Supplier website. Among other things, the article discusses the challenges of high-speed signals in printed circuit boards. As always, Bob's article is well-researched and worth the read. But if you only have time for the Cliff's Notes, I'll try to summarize it here. Quick Summary Bob begins by pointing out that "as data rates pushed … [Read more...]

IIoT and Embedded Vision Drive Interconnect Growth
What is the next "smart" thing? Consumers always want the next big "it" thing. Component manufacturers constantly innovate new solutions to help the drive the next "hot" trend or killer application in the electronics industry. Whatever the next consumer trend may be, other markets and applications that receive less fanfare continue to grow and inspire semiconductor and interconnect innovation. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is driving connectivity in legacy factories, plants, … [Read more...]
More Than Just Connectors: Samtec’s Technical Library
Between overdue books, too many "Quiet Please" signs to count, and trying to navigate the Dewey Decimal System, going to the library is never much fun. The same feeling is often true when searching for technical documentation before, during, or after the design process. Scouring page after page can prove frustrating, and answers are hard to find. We are out to change that. Besides our wide variety of connectors and cable assemblies, Samtec also strives to provide the needed … [Read more...]
12G SDI Signal Processing and Transmission Demonstration (NAB 2017)
Chris Shelly, Samtec's RF/SI Modeling Engineer, walks us through another 12G SDI product demonstration from NAB 2017. This demonstration showcases the Samtec BNC Edge Mount connector used in the Fidus® Gearbox+™ and the Phabrix® QX UHDTV 12G SDI generator/analyzer. This demonstration not only showcases the signal processing capabilities of both of these products, it also highlights the transmission of those signals through several other Samtec 75 ohm PCB connectors. Chris walks us … [Read more...]
Samtec Interconnect Solutions Drive “Big Data”
Data. Data. Data. The world is full of data. As humans breathe, use smartphones, or have a meal, a digital trail of data is left behind. That data trail is highly lucrative for companies ranging from retail and high-tech to online advertising and social media. Why all the fuss on Big Data? One source calls Big Data "extremely large data sets that may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions." … [Read more...]
Samtec 12G SDI Connectors Performance Demonstration at NAB 2017
Chris Shelly, Samtec's RF/SI Modeling Engineer, walks us through one of two 12G SDI live demonstrations at NAB 2017. This product demonstration showcases live Return Loss testing of different connectors series per the SMPTE ST-2082-1 12G SDI single channel 4K /UHD requirements. The demonstration highlights the custom launch design that successfully allow even the more challenging right angle connector configurations to perform at this high level. With PCB terminated RF … [Read more...]

Samtec Flyover QSFP In Xilinx VCU118 (OFC 2017)
Kevin Burt, of the Samtec Optical Group, explains another one of the several demos that Samtec presented at OFC 2017. In this demo, four GT 28 Gbps transceiver signals are generated by an FPGA and launched mid-board from a FireFly™ 28 G x4 optical connector system. These 28 Gbps signals then “flyover” the board through a FQSFP twinax cable assembly, to the port, and loop back over the same path, where they are received by the FPGA. The Flyover™ QSFP28 … [Read more...]
