I recently attended the New York International Auto Show. While I was mesmerized by the new Corvette, the Huracán STO, and the GT-R, in reality I am thinking about updating my WRX. Whatever the budget, high-performance cars are high-precision engineered solutions using state-of-the-art mechanical technology. The same is true of routing bleeding-edge 112 Gbps PAM4 signals on a PCB or in a system. State-of-the-art IP, SerDes, semiconductor and interconnect technology are required. Samtec is … [Read more...]
Linear Direct Drive Proof-of-Concept Can Support 100 G+ Signaling
This video from DesignCon 2022 shows a proof-of-concept for an on-package, or near-package, direct-drive electrical channel that can support 100 G + signaling. These drives could be used in mid-board optical and copper designs using Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies or mezzanine connector sets, or for full-channel front-panel and back-panel cable applications. Samtec’s Kevin Burt walks us through the demo, the results, and a brief discussion of the benefits. What's Going On On … [Read more...]
Higher Standards Within the Mil/Aero Industry
My father served 25+ years as a Sergeant in the United States Air Force. As a military kid, I never really understood what his job entailed. Honestly, my only thought was "cool, my dad is traveling all over the world...". Little did I appreciate the precise and rugged avionics and mechanics found on aircraft carriers. My eyes were opened to the inner workings of Mil/Aero electronics at the recent Sea-Air-Space Expo. This event attracts global leaders, key decision makers and solutions … [Read more...]
Instrumentation for Safety and Security
The Internet of Things is bringing with it new requirements for safety and security. Using the IoT, operators can benefit from complex and distributed installations. In addition, autonomous systems are becoming increasingly important in the functioning of modern industry. From manufacturing to agriculture, these remote operations need instrumentation to provide constant monitoring to provide safety and security. These systems must communicate quickly and accurately, allowing operators … [Read more...]
May the 4th Be With You!
"Hello there!" Any Star Wars nerd worth their weight in spice from Kessel knows who said that. Rightfully, Disney+ released a new full-length Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer. If you haven't watched it yet, you should! It would be a lie to say that I am not geeked about this trailer and the upcoming Disney+ series. While this may appear like a shameless blog, Samtec has a long history of appreciating Star Wars geekery. Aside from the fun, sci-fi culture is definitely associated with bleeding edge … [Read more...]
Rohde and Schwarz VNA Verifies Excellent Performance of Front Panel Cable System
This live product demonstration from DesignCon 2022 shows a Rohde and Schwarz ZNA 43 Vector Network Analyzer testing a Samtec NovaRay® I/O front-panel cable system, with excellent results. NovaRay I/O emulates ASIC to front-panel applications. The "ASIC" -- in this case, the ZNA 43 -- delivers signals to a Samtec NovaRay® Flyover® cable assembly, which then travel through 6" of Eye Speed® Twinax Low Skew twinax, to a NovaRay I/O connector/cable system. This assembly also includes our NovaRay … [Read more...]
Broadcast Video Solutions for 8K & Beyond
I grew up watching Family Matters, America’s Funniest Home Videos, live NASA space shuttle launches and taking trips to Blockbuster on Friday night. I also recorded my favorite TV show every week on a VHS tape because school/work commitments conflicted with the scheduled airtime. Now I regale tales of this bygone era to my nephews who ask about VCRs, cassette tapes and land lines, oh my! We’ve quickly moved from scheduled broadcasts on the television to live streaming news, shows and movies … [Read more...]
New 112 Gbps PAM4 Mid-Board Flyover Cable Solution
In this video from DesignCon 2022, Keith Guetig, High-Speed Product Manager at Samtec, walks us through a live demonstration of a new Samtec high-speed cable system, coupled with new Xilinx advanced silicon, showing a 112 Gbps PAM4 system with outstanding performance. This configuration shows how Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies can be used in mid-board applications. Actually, Samtec Flyover® cable systems can be used in mid-board, mid-board to front panel, mid-board to back panel, and … [Read more...]
Precision RF and European Microwave Week
It is easy for many of us to take connectivity for granted. With Bluetooth, WiFi, and the latest 5G wireless technology, we are having to use fewer connectors in everyday life. Coaxial or Radio Frequency (RF) connectors are not as common now as they were a generation ago, and yet with the demand for high-speed wireless communications growing relentlessly, the world of precision RF connectors is evolving rapidly. With demand growing for higher frequencies and greater data … [Read more...]
New 12G-SDI Products, RF Launches, Outstanding Service and Support: NAB 2022
NAB is back and in-person, and Samtec is back at NAB. It's difficult to describe everything at the NAB Show (National Association of Broadcasters). I'll attempt to summarize it by saying that NAB is a monumental explosion of the latest broadcast products, solutions, equipment, and technologies. Samtec’s extensive portfolio of high-performance interconnector solutions are ideal for supporting resolution, frame rate, density and latency demands of the broadcast video market. Interconnect … [Read more...]
