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.

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...]
Apollo Communication Hardware: A Fantastic Demonstration Of The Original Equipment

Characterizing High-Speed Digital Interfaces: Reflecting on Reflections
Today’s high-speed digital interfaces have become more sensitive to signal reflections. The result is a need to characterize and suppress channel and component discontinuities. How do you select a characterization method between those called out in standards such as PCIe, IEEE 802.3, and USB? In a DesignCon 2022 paper, Steve Krooswyk, Hansel Dsilva, Richard Mellitz, Stephen Hall, Adam Gregory, Beomtaek Lee, and John Riley aim to explain each reflection standard in regard to its history, use … [Read more...]
