Readers of the Samtec blog know that the demand for data keeps increasing. Rightly, data center applications may be the first to enter one's mind. However, faster speeds are required in AI/ML, Mil/Aero, Automotive, Medical, Instrumentation, and many other applications as well. Engineers developing new products at higher speeds need reassurance that the components they select work as advertised. Samtec-designed Evaluation and Development Kits simplify the interconnect design process and reduce … [Read more...]
High-Speed Cable System and Blockchain ISI Demonstrate Excellent 112 Gbps PAM4 Performance
OFC 2023 saw the world premiere of Credo’s DOVE 800 family, teamed with a Samtec Flyover cable assembly, and a Samtec blockchain ISI board, both demonstrating outstanding performance at 112 Gbps PAM4. The DOVE 800 is a retimer, with eight lanes of 100 G to 100 G. Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, walks us through the two signal paths. In channel one, a BERT is generating eight lanes of 112 Gbps PAM4, PRBS 31-bit data, which travels through low-loss coax cable to a Samtec … [Read more...]
New Samtec Flyover® Cable System Extends Signal Reach At Next Gen Data Rates
The insatiable bandwidth demand for next gen data rates is driven by applications like the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, supercomputing, and 5G. In this video from OFC 2023, Matt Burns walks us through a live product demonstration of a Samtec Flyover® Cable System showing excellent performance at 112 Gbps PAM4. The signal source is a Cadence 112 G ELR SerDes PHY, and the signal is run through a Samtec Flyover cable assembly that’s up to the task. The Cadence … [Read more...]
ECAD, MCAD and The Power of E-Design
Modern digital tools have changed forever how engineers design new products. The development of 3D modeling has revolutionized mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD). It has enabled engineers to develop new products quickly, in collaboration with colleagues around the world, and respond rapidly to changing demands. We have looked in the past at some of the advantages that 3D design brings to engineers. However, the mechanical aspect of any design is only part of the process. The … [Read more...]
Samtec’s Space Legacy
For more than twenty-five years, Samtec has been engaged in developing interconnect products and supporting the standards for systems that launch into space. The first stage of Samtec’s space legacy began when one of the company’s earliest products, the SamArray® High-Density Open-Pin-Field Array, was selected as part of the VITA42 XMC standard in 2002. Since then, Samtec engineers have continued to engage with numerous standards bodies to develop the standards and interconnects that make … [Read more...]
Integral Ground Plane For Data Rate, Power, and Processing
Cutting-edge data rates have received much well-deserved press in the electronics media. New 56 and 112 Gbps PAM4 systems are in operation with verified, sustainable performance, and we’re on the doorstep of 224 Gbps PAM4. Having said that, the majority of Samtec customers don’t need these extreme data rates. For many designers and many applications, high speed, if it’s needed at all, is 10 Gbps or less. They need a reliable connector system capable of handling those slightly higher data … [Read more...]
Rohde & Schwarz VNA Verifies Excellent PCIe 6.0 Performance Of High-Speed Cable
A live product demonstration from DesignCon 2023 highlights the outstanding PCIe 6.0 performance of both a Samtec Flyover® high-speed cable assembly and a Rohde & Schwarz® ZNA vector network analyzer. In this short video, Greg Vaught, VNA Product Planning Manager with Rohde & Schwarz, and Matt Burns, Technical Marketing Manager at Samtec, walk us through the setup and describe the products and results measured. A Rohde & Schwarz ZNA 67 Vector Network Analyzer is connected to a … [Read more...]
Cutting Edge High-Speed Cable Performance Measured By The World’s First 53 GHz Scalable VNA
In this live demonstration from DesignCon 2023, the performance of a Samtec high-speed cable system is measured by the world’s first scalable VNA. Matt Burns (Technical Marketing Manager, Samtec), and Mike Resso (Signal Integrity Application Scientist, Keysight) explain the demo and equipment. The scalable VNA is Keysight's Digital Interconnect Test System, with 16 ports that are expandable to 32 ports at 53 GHz. In this demonstration, Mike has calibrated all 16 ports of the Keysight PXI-VNA … [Read more...]
Improve Power Integrity and Signal Integrity With New Interconnects
A new connector system improves signal integrity by improving power integrity. Optimizing power integrity provides greater signal integrity margin and improves power and thermal efficiency. The design of a high-speed connector system's breakout region, or BOR, impacts signal integrity. The BOR of a power connector also impacts signal integrity. How do we create a BOR that minimizes parasitic inductance? PI + SI: A New Connector In this video from DesignCon 2023, Alex Wroten, … [Read more...]
Samtec Highlights Latest Interconnect Solutions at embedded world 2023
It's coming - embedded world 2023! Can you wait for it? No, it's not The Mandalorian Season 3 (Wasn't that awesome?!??!), but rather embedded world 2023. For embedded designers and engineers, embedded world 2023 generates almost as much anticipation as the latest Star Wars, Marvel or other sci-fi project. ew23 offers a global platform for the embedded community to network, learn, exhibit and gain insight into all things embedded. This year, ew23 takes place March 14-16, 2023, in … [Read more...]
