New Zynq UltraScale+ Platform Offers 32 Gbps via FMC+ and FireFly™ Interfaces
One of the most popular interfaces in the FPGA world is FMC. This has recently been expanded to FMC+. The new VITA 57.4 standard defines two new connectors. Combined, they offer 32 full-duplex channels running at 28 Gbps. However, the current generation of FPGAs and MPSoCs have transceivers supporting data rates in excess of 32 Gbps. Why? Emerging protocols – including PCIe Gen 5 and JESD204C – will run at 32 Gbps. Engineers developing solutions using 32Gbps+ protocols need … [Read more...]
New Open-Source, FPGA-based Arduino Compatible Shield Features Samtec Connectors
Hobbyists, tinkers and makers have revolutionized product design. Easy-to-use platforms like Raspberry Pi and Arduino give immediate access to powerful embedded computers. Typically, open source electronics platforms use MCU, CPU or GPU technology. More recently, multiple, open source FPGA-based platforms are now available. For example, Mind Chasers is launching the Darsena Shield for Arduino. Combining Darsena with the Arduino ecosystem allows engineers to take full control of their … [Read more...]

Micro Rugged Interconnect Solutions
One of Samtec's most popular product niches is Micro / Rugged Interconnects. Designers don’t usually think of micro pitch connectors as being rugged, as being able to handle high mating cycles, or as having robust mechanical strength on the PCB, or with strong retention of mated connector sets. Samtec has a complete line of micro rugged products that can do all of the above. Our micro rugged products are just that — micro, and rugged. The following is a quick overview of our most popular … [Read more...]

Samtec, COTS, and Mil/Aero
When it comes to the Military / Aerospace industries, you probably think of products that are rugged and meant to take abuse. The products used in these industries are required to operate and last in extreme environments, and product testing is as important as the product itself. Because of the extensive testing requirements, the cost of a product can be considerably higher and have a longer lead-time when compared to a commercial version of the same product. Why Samtec for … [Read more...]
