"Hello there!" Any Star Wars nerd worth their weight in spice from Kessel knows who said that. Rightfully, Disney+ released a new full-length Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer. If you haven't watched it yet, you should! It would be a lie to say that I am not geeked about this trailer and the upcoming Disney+ series. While this may appear like a shameless blog, Samtec has a long history of appreciating Star Wars geekery. Aside from the fun, sci-fi culture is definitely associated with bleeding edge … [Read more...]
Samtec Launches New SI/PI Capabilities and Resource Landing Page
Once upon a time . . . I really don't like starting a blog out that way, but in this case, it applies. Bear with me. Like most undergrad Electrical Engineering students, I took "Introduction to Electromagnetics" my junior year. I thought it would straight forward due to previous exposure in Physics. Boy, was I wrong! No matter how hard I tried, I made no sense of some dude named Maxwell and upside-down triangles. I dropped the class in the fall semester and took it in the summer with … [Read more...]
Samtec and Otava Describe Flexible Antenna-to-Bits Architectures in Upcoming Webinar
"Antenna-to-bits" simplifies describing complex RF signal chains. Yet real-world RF signal chain development is not simple. This is especially true in mmWave and microwave bands. In Samtec's world, that usually covers 18 - 110 GHz frequency ranges. Emerging antenna-to-bits architectures in 5G, Radar, EW, SATCOM, and instrumentation applications necessitate careful design tradeoffs due to the sensitive nature of mmWave bands. RF system designers are challenged to … [Read more...]

Samtec and Synopsys Talk PCIe 6.0® Solutions for HPC Applications
PCI Express® (PCIe) is the backbone interface for connecting high-speed components in modern computing. Desktop PC motherboards connect to graphics cards, RAID cards, Wi-Fi cards or SSD add-on cards via any number of PCIe expansion slots. Current desktop, laptop, server and gaming computing platforms leverage PCIe 4.0 (8 GT/s) infrastructure. Looking forward, chipsets solutions from Intel, AMD, Nvidia and others feature native PCIe 5.0 (16 GT/s) support. Also, PCIe 5.0 capable motherboards, … [Read more...]
VITA 42.0 XMC Updates: A Refreshed Standard and New Optical XMC Modules
Open standards simplify system design while offering robust ecosystems of solutions providers. Even as open standards are adopted across industries and platforms, updates are needed from time-to-time. For example, take ANSI/VITA 42.0-2021 XMC. VITA 42.0 XMC defines a popular mezzanine card architecture using a PCIe interconnect to host carrier modules. XMC modules attach to various form factors including SOSA PICs, PXIe, VPX, PCIe and others. As PCIe increases in speed, standards using the … [Read more...]
