Samtec “Focuses” on Embedded Vision Systems
Embedded vision systems are commonplace in everyday applications. As an example, ADAS systems in modern automobiles increase driver and passenger safety. In another application, visual inspection systems reduce manufacturing errors on the production line. Additionally, drones are revolutionizing data collection for consumers, researchers and enterprises alike. Embedded vision system components continue to advance in complexity. However, they […]
Samtec Demos High-Performance Platforms at XDF Silicon Valley
Samtec recently sponsored and attended the Xilinx Developer Forum (XDF) in Silicon Valley. XDF connects software developers and system designers to the deep expertise of Xilinx engineers, partners, and industry leaders. During the event, Samtec showed two high-speed demonstrations. Both platforms marry Samtec interconnect solutions with Xilinx silicon. The XDF demos are featured in the following […]
Reach Beyond the Rack – Samtec/eSilicon 56G 5m Backplane Cable Demo to Debut at SC18
As data centers get faster and more complex, component suppliers must help system architects reach beyond the rack. The first-to-market solution from eSilicon and Samtec demonstrates high-performance connections between backplanes instead of the front panel. All are invited to see the demonstration in Samtec booth #521 at SC18. eSilicon 56G long-reach 7nm DSP SerDes Reach beyond […]
Alpha Data Network Accelerator Platforms Feature Samtec FireFly™ and FQSFP Solutions
Readers of the Samtec blog know the benefits of Twinax Flyover™ solutions. Faster data rates can be supported over longer distances. How? Easy. Get signal routes out of noisy and lossy PCB into ultra-low-skew twinax cable. Many applications that use Twinax Flyover solutions are found in the data center. Applications typically include servers, storage, network switches/routers […]
Samtec Introduces New SI Characterization Kits
Any engineer who has designed an IC-based solution likely used some sort of HW development tool. Semiconductor manufacturers have a long history of providing engineers with the HW tools needed to test their silicon. Evaluation platforms, like the Xilinx® Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit, provide the ideal development environment for evaluating the cutting edge silicon. The ZCU111 […]
Samtec Sponsoring 2018 Xilinx Developers Forum
One of the biggest events in the FPGA/SoC ecosystem is the annual Xilinx Developers Forum (XDF). XDF connects software developers and system designers to the deep expertise of Xilinx engineers, partners, and industry leaders. XDF takes place in three locations this year. Samtec will be attending all three locations as shown below: XDF Silicon Valley […]
Samtec Supports Makers During Weekend of Making in Louisville
Makers of Louisville and Southern Indiana – Assemble! Obviously, the Samtec blog team has been watching too many superhero and Ron Burgundy movies. However, the point still remains that this weekend marks a busy schedule for the maker community in the Kentuckiana area. Count’em. Not one, but TWO make events are taking place this week. […]
New COTS Embedded Computing Platforms Incorporate FireFly™ for Density and Performance
Small footprints. Less weight. Signal integrity over longer distances. Scalability. Upgradeability. These and other factors are driving the adoption of optical engines in embedded computing. Annapolis Micro Systems, a leading FPGA board and systems supplier, and Samtec have collaborated to integrate the Samtec FireFly™ Optical System in multiple COTS embedded computing platforms. FireFly enables maximum signal density […]
