Embedded Vision Applications Expand
Human vision in indispensable and often taken for granted. Similarly machine, or embedded, vision influences daily human life in ways thought impossible. Simply, machine vision refers to the ability of embedded systems to "see". Key system components include cameras or image sensors, analog-to-digitals converters and complex compute engines like DSPs, FPGAs or GPUs. Additional IP, firmware and applications software provide functional guidance based on what the system "sees". Need an … [Read more...]
Practical Ports for Perfect Performance – Pretend or Possible?
Enough of the letter "P" already. Message recieved. In any case, modeling and simulating next-gen 224 Gbps signal channels poses many challenges. Design engineers must optimize the entire signal path, not just a specific component. The signal path includes transceiver and receivers, die-to-packaging transitions, BGA breakout regions, PCB traces, connector breakout regions and interconnect. Any number of design decisions affect multi-gigabit per second channel data rate performance. As a … [Read more...]
Samtec’s Istvan Novak Presents Electronic Systems SI/PI Forum Keynote
Samtec blog readers are used to hearing about high-performance design. However, we see an increase in intertest in power integrity (PI).

PCIe 4.0 Over Fiber Solutions in Embedded Computing Applications
"Do you know how FAST you were going?!?" That question strikes fear in almost all teenage drivers. The resulting ticket dashes any hope of a fun weekend. Plus, what happens when the parents find out?? No!!! Meanwhile, embedded and optical engineers may wonder the same thing. "PCIe 3.0 only gets to 8 GT/s? I need more speed!" So what's the answer? PCIe 4.0 over fiber solutions, of course. Why PCIe 4.0 Over Fiber? Any number high-performance, embedded applications are looking for … [Read more...]
Samtec, Otava and Avnet Optimize the mmWave RF Signal Path
mmWave applications are all the rage. Why? Simply put, the 5G tidal wave is coming. Also, ADAS systems use 24 GHz for SRR applications and 77 GHz for LRR applications. Obviously, the world needs mmWave tech! Traditional mmWave technology spans the 30 - 300 GHz frequency range. Samtec defines mmWave technology as 18 - 110 GHz across our Precision RF portfolio of full cable assemblies, cable connectors, and board-level interconnects. High frequencies challenge designers like never before. … [Read more...]
