In this, the first part of a two-part series, we look at the role of artificial intelligence in the industrial arena. The topic of artificial intelligence (AI) has hit the headlines recently, as the latest generation of cloud-based AI tools promises to offer a major leap forward in the power of machines. In all the discussions about how AI will affect us, very few have talked about the hardware that these machines will require. However powerful these machines become, they will still need … [Read more...]
Samtec Participates in PICMG Embedded Implementers’ Forum
Just do it! Do the work! Whatever phrase is used, embedded engineers thrive at accomplishing their design goals. However, next-gen solutions are more complex, small, and dense. Implementers are challenged to design next-gen solutions in quickly evolving applications like rail transportation, aerospace, and more. Getting a leg up in the design and implementation of complex systems offers improvements in time to market, cost, performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Another benefit … [Read more...]
Samtec and Arrow Partner on New Intel® Agilex™ 5 E-series SoC Dev Kit
"Intelligent edge." That is a new term for many. Basically it refers to the the increased computational capabilities at the edge of the communications networks. Typically, heavy compute loads are executed in data centers or on supercomputers. As the "intelligent edge" ramps up performance, those calculations are enabled by embedded devices using multicore CPUs, FPGAs, SoCs, and the like. Intelliegent edge and embedded computing applications combine faster speeds with lower power … [Read more...]
Industry Experts Discuss SI/PI Trends at Penn State Symposium
Samtec recently attended the 16th annual Penn State Harrisburg Signal/Power Integrity Symposium. The central Pennsylvania region is known as the "Connector Capital of the World," with more than 25 electrical connector companies in the Harrisburg metropolitan area. The yearly symposium focuses on the development of new signal integrity applications and continual education services (STEM program). Speakers are invited from local electronic companies to discuss SI market trends by … [Read more...]
New Linear Direct Drive At 112 Gbps PAM4
Straight from DesignCon 2023, Kevin Burt, Samtec's Director of Happiness, walks us through a proof-of-concept for an on-package, or near-package, linear direct drive electrical channel that gives us a 100-meter link at 112 Gbps. These links could be used in mid-board optical and copper designs using Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies or high-speed mezzanine connector sets, as well as for full-channel front-panel and back-panel cable applications. A Multilane Pattern Generator generates a 112 … [Read more...]
High-Speed Cables and Signal Integrity
We all seem to want more these days. When it comes to the speed of our electronic communication, we always want more data, delivered more quickly. As communication becomes ever-faster, an understanding of signal integrity is vital, especially the role that cables play in maintaining it. Samtec has recently released the second edition of the Signal Integrity Handbook. This much-awaited publication is trusted by SI professionals across the electronics industry, and I decided to find out … [Read more...]
Samtec Engineers Win DesignCon Best Paper Award
In late 2022, the technical program committee for DesignCon 2023 announced the DesignCon Best Paper Awards finalists. Now, they have announced the Best Paper Awards winners. This year, papers authored by Samtec engineers were honored by DesignCon Best Paper Awards as finalists and winner. The paper “3D Connection Artifacts in PDN Measurements,” with Istvan Novak and Gustavo Blando of Samtec as part of the authorship team, was recently announced as a DesignCon 2023 Best Paper Award Winner! … [Read more...]
PCIe 6.0 Data Routed From New Chip-Adjacent Connector To Front Panel
PCIe 6.0, optics, 112 Gbps PAM4, linear direct drives, PCIe over fiber. Samtec displayed a variety of live product demonstrations - both optical and copper - at OFC 2023. Two demos, both in tandem with our partner Cadence, received much attention. Both demonstrated cutting-edge data rates, one at 112 Gbps PAM4, and the other is 64 GT/s, PCIe 6.0 data rates. And both show excellent signal integrity performance from our Samtec Flyover® High-Speed cable systems. This blog and video … [Read more...]

SEARAY: Maximize Design Flexibility And Density
SEARAY™ is Samtec's line of high-speed, high-density grid array connectors. SEARAY gives designers tons of design flexibility, much more than any other array product in the industry. Flexibility SEARAY is a 1.27 mm X 1.27 mm grid. It is an open pin field grid array, meaning pins are not dedicated as signal or ground. Designers can specify pins for single-ended signals, differential pairs, ground, and/or power, all on the same connector. This gives designers maximum grounding and … [Read more...]
