Representatives from universities, hardware providers, system designers, cloud services, semiconductor and interconnect suppliers (Samtec!) and other participants are sharing ideas and launching new products at this annual event. Samtec's team of technical experts are roaming the convention floor, attending classes and visiting with partners and customers. Stay tuned to our blog this … [Read more...]
Billion Dollar Corporations Are Places Where Innovation Goes To Die
“Billion dollar corporations are places where innovation goes to die.” “If you work for a corporation you have the illusion of security. If you work for yourself you have the illusion of freedom.” “Billion dollar ideas are disruptive, and usually require somebody to bet their job to make them a reality.” These are just a few of the observations recently shared by Scott McMorrow, CTO of Samtec’s Signal Integrity Group. Scott was the Keynote Speaker at EDI CON 2017. Our friends … [Read more...]
October Web Updates for Samtec.com
With our last web update, we brought you a full upgrade to Angular 4 throughout the website, a new experience for our VITA42 standard, a couple of new product pages, and a digital version of our brand new full line catalog. In October we spent a lot of time preparing for our next major projects and improving some of the software foundation that helps drive the website (pun intended). We've worked through several project mockups for software releases we'll be rolling out in 2018, and released … [Read more...]
Deep Channel Analysis for High-Speed Interconnect Solutions
The term "deep channel" may rekindle a childhood memory of an unusual swimming location. It may conjure visions of unique music compilations of others. "Deep channel" has a wider application in next-gen high-speed connectors and system design. SI engineers depend on deep channel analysis to push throughput to 56 Gbps and beyond across the entire signal channel. The "Channel" in Deep Channel Analysis In legacy system designs, developers were able to focus on components selection. As long as … [Read more...]
Prototype to Production with Open-Source Electronics Platforms
The influence of open-source electronics platforms like Raspberry Pi on product development cannot be denied. Designers from companies small and large leverage ready-made hardware solutions for a quick path from prototype to production. Other popular platforms include Arduino, BeagleBone and Arm Mbed. The Maker Movement - a loose collection of tinkerers, hobbyists, students and enthusiasts within the tech-influenced DIY community - has been a driving force here. Makers use various … [Read more...]

Samtec FireFly™ Routes Data over PCBs in New Guzik ADP7000 Series Digitizers for 5G NR
As consumers, no one ever complains that their wireless connectivity is "too fast". Global wireless carriers and network providers continue to push the limits of 4G LTE, but a next-generation wireless standard - 5G New Radio (5G NR) - is on the horizon. 5G technology will be 100x faster than current 4G LTE solutions currently on the market. While some early adopters will see 5G rollouts in late 2017 and early 2018, large-scale deployments are planned for 2019, a year earlier than … [Read more...]
September Updates to Samtec.com
With our last web update, we brought you several new additions to our on-site search, a new Microelectronics web experience, and our new 2017 product overview guide. In September, the updates to search came to a close (for now), we've added a few new content pages, and we began work on several architecure upgrades to increase the performance of Samtec.com. These will pave the way for our next set of applications coming in 2018 and beyond. Here is the summary of our major web updates for … [Read more...]
New Optical Data Interface Adopts Samtec FireFly™ As Physical Layer
Emerging applications in 5G communications, mil/aero systems, high-speed data acquisition, phased-array radar and communication research will support faster data rates than current generation solutions. Developing and testing these high-performance applications requires advanced instrumentation and embedded systems. Current generation instruments, processors, storage, and embedded devices communicate over copper interfaces in standard form factors and traditional bench instrument … [Read more...]
NVIDIA Jetson Platforms Connect via Samtec SEARAY™ Open Pin Field Arrays
The growth of system-on-modules (SOMs) in embedded computing presents a paradigm shift in embedded design. Legacy electronics systems typically leveraged discrete chip-down designs. The circuit designer was responsible for the selecting, designing and routing of the CPU, Memory, I/O, power and analog circuitry within their application. EEs continuously met the technical challenges presented before them. As Moore's Law moves along, system-level electronic design using the discrete … [Read more...]
