New Linear Direct Drive At 112 Gbps PAM4
Straight from DesignCon 2023, Kevin Burt, Samtec's Director of Happiness, walks us through a proof-of-concept for an on-package, or near-package, linear direct drive electrical channel that gives us a 100-meter link at 112 Gbps. These links could be used in mid-board optical and copper designs using Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies or high-speed mezzanine connector sets, as well as for full-channel front-panel and back-panel cable applications. A Multilane Pattern Generator generates a 112 … [Read more...]
PCIe 6.0 Data Routed From New Chip-Adjacent Connector To Front Panel
PCIe 6.0, optics, 112 Gbps PAM4, linear direct drives, PCIe over fiber. Samtec displayed a variety of live product demonstrations - both optical and copper - at OFC 2023. Two demos, both in tandem with our partner Cadence, received much attention. Both demonstrated cutting-edge data rates, one at 112 Gbps PAM4, and the other is 64 GT/s, PCIe 6.0 data rates. And both show excellent signal integrity performance from our Samtec Flyover® High-Speed cable systems. This blog and video … [Read more...]
SEARAY: Maximize Design Flexibility And Density
SEARAY™ is Samtec's line of high-speed, high-density grid array connectors. SEARAY gives designers tons of design flexibility, much more than any other array product in the industry. Flexibility SEARAY is a 1.27 mm X 1.27 mm grid. It is an open pin field grid array, meaning pins are not dedicated as signal or ground. Designers can specify pins for single-ended signals, differential pairs, ground, and/or power, all on the same connector. This gives designers maximum grounding and … [Read more...]
High-Speed Cable System and Blockchain ISI Demonstrate Excellent 112 Gbps PAM4 Performance
OFC 2023 saw the world premiere of Credo’s DOVE 800 family, teamed with a Samtec Flyover cable assembly, and a Samtec blockchain ISI board, both demonstrating outstanding performance at 112 Gbps PAM4. The DOVE 800 is a retimer, with eight lanes of 100 G to 100 G. Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, walks us through the two signal paths. In channel one, a BERT is generating eight lanes of 112 Gbps PAM4, PRBS 31-bit data, which travels through low-loss coax cable to a Samtec … [Read more...]
New Samtec Flyover® Cable System Extends Signal Reach At Next Gen Data Rates
The insatiable bandwidth demand for next gen data rates is driven by applications like the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, supercomputing, and 5G. In this video from OFC 2023, Matt Burns walks us through a live product demonstration of a Samtec Flyover® Cable System showing excellent performance at 112 Gbps PAM4. The signal source is a Cadence 112 G ELR SerDes PHY, and the signal is run through a Samtec Flyover cable assembly that’s up to the task. The Cadence … [Read more...]
Integral Ground Plane For Data Rate, Power, and Processing
Cutting-edge data rates have received much well-deserved press in the electronics media. New 56 and 112 Gbps PAM4 systems are in operation with verified, sustainable performance, and we’re on the doorstep of 224 Gbps PAM4. Having said that, the majority of Samtec customers don’t need these extreme data rates. For many designers and many applications, high speed, if it’s needed at all, is 10 Gbps or less. They need a reliable connector system capable of handling those slightly higher data … [Read more...]
Rohde & Schwarz VNA Verifies Excellent PCIe 6.0 Performance Of High-Speed Cable
A live product demonstration from DesignCon 2023 highlights the outstanding PCIe 6.0 performance of both a Samtec Flyover® high-speed cable assembly and a Rohde & Schwarz® ZNA vector network analyzer. In this short video, Greg Vaught, VNA Product Planning Manager with Rohde & Schwarz, and Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Manager at Samtec, walk us through the setup and describe the products and results measured. A Rohde & Schwarz ZNA 67 Vector Network Analyzer is connected to a … [Read more...]
Cutting Edge High-Speed Cable Performance Measured By The World’s First 53 GHz Scalable VNA
In this live demonstration from DesignCon 2023, the performance of a Samtec high-speed cable system is measured by the world’s first scalable VNA. Matt Burns (Technical Marketing Manager, Samtec), and Mike Resso (Signal Integrity Application Scientist, Keysight) explain the demo and equipment. The scalable VNA is Keysight's Digital Interconnect Test System, with 16 ports that are expandable to 32 ports at 53 GHz. In this demonstration, Mike has calibrated all 16 ports of the Keysight PXI-VNA … [Read more...]
Improve Power Integrity and Signal Integrity With New Interconnects
A new connector system improves signal integrity by improving power integrity. Optimizing power integrity provides greater signal integrity margin and improves power and thermal efficiency. The design of a high-speed connector system's breakout region, or BOR, impacts signal integrity. The BOR of a power connector also impacts signal integrity. How do we create a BOR that minimizes parasitic inductance? PI + SI: A New Connector In this video from DesignCon 2023, Alex Wroten, … [Read more...]
