Connectivity for the Latest In-Car Systems
The roles played by in-car control and display systems have evolved enormously over the last few years. Where once entertainment and vehicle controls were separate, the modern car integrates a huge range of functions into a unified interface. The amount of data this requires places key demands on the connectors used for infotainment systems. The original infotainment displays used in cars merged traditional controls with the latest entertainment systems. They have now evolved far beyond … [Read more...]
PCIe 6.0: From IP To Interconnect In High-Performance Computing
The full PCIe® 6.0 specification in nearing completion. The latest 0.9 version provides details on increased system data rate to 64 GT/s, doubling the throughput from PCIe 5.0. Additionally, the latest version further explains PAM4 encoding, FLIT-based encoding, and low-latency FEC to improve bandwidth efficiency.

The Importance of STEM
In the world of education, STEM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It is a shorthand that describes the importance that these subjects have gained for our young people. There used to be a time when these subjects were just for geeks. When home computers and video games were new, they were only the enthusiasts and often dismissed by the mainstream. The subjects taught in school did not cover these topics, for understandable … [Read more...]
VITA 42.0 XMC Updates: A Refreshed Standard and New Optical XMC Modules
Open standards simplify system design while offering robust ecosystems of solutions providers. Even as open standards are adopted across industries and platforms, updates are needed from time-to-time. For example, take ANSI/VITA 42.0-2021 XMC. VITA 42.0 XMC defines a popular mezzanine card architecture using a PCIe interconnect to host carrier modules. XMC modules attach to various form factors including SOSA PICs, PXIe, VPX, PCIe and others. As PCIe increases in speed, standards using the … [Read more...]
OCP: New 112 Gbps PAM4 Products, Technologies
We're looking forward to the OCP Global Summit! The Keynote speakers, workshops, exhibitions, and other Summit features are back and in-person (as well as virtually), all with Covid-19 safeguards, of course. As data rate requirements approach and surpass the 112 Gbps threshold, developers are challenged with balancing increasing throughput, scalability and density demands with concerns such as power consumption, signal integrity, cost and time-to-market. Samtec helps address these … [Read more...]
