Experts across multiple industries - including electronics components - agree the need for more scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians has never been greater. STEM education remains a constant focus for many industries, governments and universities globally. Job growth backs this up. One report from the US Department of Commerce says STEM occupations grew much faster than non-STEM occupations over the last decade (24.4% versus 4.0%). STEM occupations are … [Read more...]
VITA 57 Solutions Enable Scalable ASIC Development Platforms
Readers of the Samtec blog know that FPGAs offer the most flexible electronics development platform in the world. Diverse applications ranging from machine learning and embedded vision to 5G wireless and cloud computing leverage the configurability and programmability of FPGAs to scale I/O, computing and DSP functionality. FPGAs are also frequently used in next-generation ASIC development projects. FPGAs allow for fast and accurate ASIC modeling and verification with accelerated … [Read more...]
How Samtec Uses A Scanning Electron Microscope To Ensure Quality Connectors
Samtec is one of the fortunate connector companies to own a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). We recently upgraded our SEM to a new Jeol, JSM-IT500, which has a 100,000 X magnification power. I spoke with Dave Scopelliti, our Test, Measurement, and Processing Guru, about this new equipment and how Samtec uses the SEM to improve the quality of our connector products and services. Danny: Dave, how does a connector manufacturer like Samtec use an Electron Microscope? Dave: … [Read more...]

Why Is Samtec’s Mascot A Tiger?
I am asked frequently why Samtec, a connector company, has a tiger for a mascot? Isn’t it obvious? When I think of tigers, I think of connectors. Just like every time I see a praying mantis I think of a thermostat. Seriously, there is a story behind how Samtec selected a tiger for its mascot. So I’ll take a break from writing about connectors and applications and share the story as it was passed down to me by the tribal elders years ago … Samtec was founded on … [Read more...]
New FPGA Development Platforms Feature Samtec High-Speed Solutions
FPGA system designers have no shortage of FPGA options for their next-gen end market solution. Xilinx continues to expand their UltraScale+ families. Intel PSG/Altera will ramp Arria 10 and Stratix 10 solutions well in to 2018. New FPGA products require a new generation of FPGA development platforms. Thankfully, both the Xilinx and Intel PSG/Altera design partner ecosystems thrive at launching just what the market needs. Several new platforms feature key Samtec interconnect options that … [Read more...]
November 2017 Web Updates for Samtec.com
This time of year is typically set aside for preparation, and this year is no different. We spent November working on a couple of major upgrades to prepare for releases in 2018, one with the way we handle quotes in My Samtec, and the other with how we handle the checkout experience when purchasing or sampling products. We expect both of those to release in 2018 and will keep you posted when they do. Most of the updates last month were routine maintenance and support-oriented. Here is the … [Read more...]
Samtec FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ Links ASIC Development Platforms
As with any product development, ASIC designers aim to quicken time to market and reduce unnecessary design cycles. Designing full-custom ASICs comes with many benefits but leveraging the flexibility, configurability and high-performance of FPGAs has become a preferred method for ASIC development. ASIC development with FPGAs features several benefits. FPGAs allow for fast and accurate ASIC modeling and verification. Emulated prototype ASICs enable accelerated software and firmware … [Read more...]
Samtec Interconnect Helps Miminize Latency in HPC Applications
Low latency. This simple two-word phrase drives entire industries solely focused on minimizing propagation, serialization, queuing, and processing delays in packet-switched networks. This is especially in HPC applications where high-throughput and low-latency are mandatory. Many approaches can be taken to minimize network latency. Optimized operating systems, next-gen network fabrics and FPGA co-processing are among a number of techniques used to drive low latency in HPC applications. … [Read more...]
