DesignCon 2024 has just announced its Best Paper Awards winners, and six Samtec authors are honored alongside their colleagues from other organizations. Somewhat unique in the world of “conference paper presentations,” DesignCon papers tend to average about 30+ pages with extensive data and research. They frequently include authors across multiple companies and/or universities, which can lead to compelling content and fascinating connections between disciplines. DesignCon Best Paper … [Read more...]
Samtec and Rohde & Schwarz Discuss Testing PCIe 5.0/6.0 Cable Implementations
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...]
Samtec Experts on Stage at DesignCon 2024
DesignCon 2024 promises to be another great gathering of the high-speed technical community, where issues of signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI converge. 224 Gbps systems, signals, simulation, and testing are expected to be hot topics in ’24. Samtec will be front and center at DesignCon, as hosts of the Tuesday night Welcome Reception as well as showing our latest products and demos in booth 939 on the show floor (more to come on that in a later blog). There will be a lot going on, … [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...]
Samtec Technical Experts and Panelists Participate in Upcoming Webinars
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...]
Women in Microwaves Reception Draws Crowd at IMS
International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2023 in San Diego was a busy event, incorporating an entire week of technical programming for engineers designing RF, microwave, mmWave, and THz systems. Each year, the event hosts a Women in Microwaves networking reception. This year, Samtec was fortunate enough to join Microwaves & RF magazine as the sponsors of the Women in Microwaves (affectionately referred to as “WIM”) reception, which was held at the Hilton Bayfront San Diego hotel on Tuesday, … [Read more...]

Samtec and Partners Present Industry Workshop at IMS 2023
May The Fourth Be With You! It's always my goal to write the Samtec blog on May 4, but it doesn't always work that way. Force ghosts, Mando, Grogu, and old-school Bib Fortuna, Star Wars (and other sci-fi movies) make me think about what's possible. Who'd ever think we'd have such global connectivity? In Star Wars, if you were out of communications range, a droid would just boost power. That's what Obi-Wan Kenobi asked R4-P17 ("R4" for short) to do when they were on Geonosis in Star Wars: … [Read more...]
