Everybody loves webcasts, right? While some may view webcasts as these kids in Ferris Bueller’s class, others love the on-demand technical education available via this popular medium. In an attempt to appeal to the second group, Samtec is pleased to announce a new Chalk Talk On-Demand Webcast focused on our expanding high-performance backplane connector portfolio….
Long Reach Backplane Cable This live demonstration from DesignCon 2019 shows how Samtec’s ExaMAX® backplane connector, combined with Samtec Flyover® technology, achieves high density and very long reach. Here, the reach is five meters for a rack-to-rack interconnect system. In this video, Samtec’s Gustavo Blando walks us through the topology and discusses system performance. Samtec…
Samtec’s Active Product Demonstrator proves 56 Gbps PAM4 based systems are fully realizable today. It’s a state-of-the-art prototype combining high-performance interconnects from Samtec and bleeding edge Credo silicon. All interconnect and silicon shown are available. The Demonstrator internally generates over 100 independent channels of signal data using Credo mixed-signal 56 Gbps PAM4 SERDES Bald Eagle…
In this video from DesignCon 2019, Scott McMorrow walks us through a live demonstration showing how NovaRay® Cable assemblies offer extreme density while enabling 112 Gbps PAM4 performance. In combination with an ExaMAX® Backplane Cable assembly, the traditional backplane architecture is retained, but with higher performance targets and lower PCB complexity. Samtec Flyover® systems can…
A joint demonstration between Samtec and eSilicon — an eSilicon 7 nm 56 Gbps DSP SerDes over a Samtec 5 meter ExaMAX® backplane cable assembly — caught a lot of attention at SC18. The demo showed a true long-reach capability with a high-performance, flexible, easy-to-configure SerDes that targets common data center standards and data rates….
As FPGAs take over the data center, system-level architects require technical support over the entire high-speed serial channel data path. FPGA vendors like Xilinx are working with interconnect partners like Samtec to emulate next generation data center architectures in their FPGA evaluation, development and characterization kits. As an example, the Xilinx Virtex® UltraScaleTM FPGA VCU110 Development…
400 Gbps IEEE Ethernet, Backplane Cable Assembly Demonstration Ralph Page, Active Systems Manager at Samtec, and Alex Nazari of Credo Semiconductors, walk us through this combined Credo/Samtec 400 Gbps IEEE Ethernet over Backplane Cable Assembly demonstration. It provides an ideal proof-of-concept for long reach signals over cabled backplanes. This demonstration was first presented at DesignCon…
56 Gbps PAM4 At DesignCon 2018, Matt Burns (Technical Marketing Manager of Samtec) and Ivan Madrigal (SerDes Systems Application Engineer at Xilinx®), walk us through a combined Xilinx-Samtec 56 Gbps PAM4 backplane demonstration. One port of 56Gbps PAM4 PBRS31 data is sourced from the transmitter of the Xilinx test chip containing GTM transceivers. The data…
The phrase “high-speed cable assembly” can include a variety of products, which is exactly what you’ll find in Samtec’s new High-Speed Cable Interconnect Solutions Guide. But it’s more than products, Samtec combines high-speed cable assemblies with unmatched service and support to provide solutions for any specific application. This guide will walk you through the foundational…
Next-gen speeds were all the buzz at DesignCon this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley. Vendors from across the industry were showcasing their latest solutions: semiconductors, connectors, test and measurement, EDA, etc. One popular solution was backplane connectors and applications. Faster speeds and new backplane system architectures were front-and-center in many…
