DesignCon 2024 recently highighted the ongoing trend for sending high-speed data over twinax cable assmblies. As AI/ML, HPC, data center and computing system architectures evolve, twinax cable assmeblies can be found in ASIC adjacent or near chip applications as well as solutions routing front-panel to front-panel. PCI Express® technology also is playing a key role in GPU-to-GPU communications as AI clusters become larger and disaggregated. Connecting GPU-based AI systems does and will … [Read more...]
Samtec Sponsors Embedded Tech Trends
Embedded computing differs from general computing in one key way. Embedded computing solutions are typically tasked with a specific or dedicated function. An example may be monitoring environmental variables like humidity, temperature, barometric pressure and more in a factory. Embedded computing platforms like SoMs and CoMs constantly add functionality and capability. As a result, the difference between embedded and general computing may be blurred. It's a constant challenge to keep up with … [Read more...]
New Intel/Arrow AXE5-Eagle FPGA Dev Kit with Samtec Interconnects Ready to Ship
FPGAs are taking over the world, or it just seems that way. At least for readers of the Samtec blog. Samtec oftens gets questions as to whether we sell FPGAs or not. Of course we don't, but we do sell VITA 57.1 FMC and VITA 57.4 FMC+ interconnects found on just about every FPGA dev kit in the world. Samtec even offers a wide portfolio of FMC, FMC+ and optical module evaluation kits for real-time development and testing in a lab setting. So, the reader may ask, why does the Samtec blog … [Read more...]
COM-HPC 1.2 Specification Defines New COM-HPC Mini Form Factor
"I shall call him . . . Mini-Me." Fans of 1990s pop culture know that line forever changed the Austin Powers movie trilogy. All the same traits and qualities of the origial in one-eighth the size. Decades later, "Mini-Me" is still a part of the English lexicon. 1990s movie trilogies do not typically influence the technical development of industry standards. Yet, the latest PICMG COM-HPC 1.2 specification certainly tries. ;) A new, small form factor - COM-HPC Mini - targeted at high-growth … [Read more...]
Samtec Updates SI/PI Capabilities/Resource Landing Page
56. 112. 224. SI/PI! For a lot of Americans, that sounds like the pre-snap play call or audible of a quarterback in North American-style football games. After watching football Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that's where my brain is as well. However, for those of us in the high-speed connectivity industry, those numbers refer to the speed markers in channel data rates we work with everyday. An embedded engineer implementing a 56 Gbps PAM4 transceiver design. A mechanical engineer … [Read more...]
Samtec Exhibits at AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit, EuMW 2023
Ahh . . . September. It reminds us of the the last bits of summer, kids going back to school and football. Of course, at Samtec we love global football and the North American kind well. In case someone asks, I am a HUGE fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the high-tech world, trade show season is ramping up. Samtec will be exhibiting at two major shows this month. One is the AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit in Santa Clara, CA. The second tradeshow is the European Microwave Week (EuMW) in … [Read more...]

Summer is here. The kids are out of school. Families are taking well-deserved holidays and vacations or even enjoying local staycations. Even though it's summer, design engineers still need to move their new projects along. Additionally, designers need to keep their skills sharp and learn about the latest tools. Some upcoming webinars will no doubt help the engineering community stay updated on FPGA SoMs, expansion buses and associated interconnects, and the latest on PCI Express® … [Read more...]
Samtec High-Speed Interconnect Enable New Artix and Kintex UltraScale+ SoMs
"Here we go again!" Yes, it is another blog on FPGA-based system-on-modules (SoMs). Why, you, dear reader, may wonder? Simply, embedded computing engineers love the versatility, flexibility and scalability that SoMs offer in system architecture design. Secondly, so many SoMs use Samtec high-speed board-to-boardconnectors. Here we go again, indeed! ;) UltraSOM! - New Artix UltraScale+SoM Family Embedded computing is global in nature, but there seems to be a lot of SoM design and FPGA … [Read more...]
Podcasts: Cabled Backplane Technology, SI Continuing Education
The demand for live webinars and podcasts exploded as the recent pandemic exploded. Not only could listeners stay updated, but webinars also provided a sense of community. As an example, Samtec's gEEk® spEEk Webinar Series started during this time, and it continues monthly with a loyal following. In a post-pandemic world, podcasts have increased in popularity. As society adjusts to post-pandemic norms, the on-demand nature of podcasts appeals to listeners. With ~850,000 global podcasts, … [Read more...]
