Vehicle Electrification: The Road Ahead
Ever since I was a little girl I've loved attending antique car shows with my dad. Classic cars have always fascinated me. The design styles and build trends drew me in. As I go back down memory lane, my dad's 1976 red Corvette Stingray stands out in my head. My dad saved up his money for almost a decade. He finally purchased his dream car when I was a teenager. Long story short, my father does not cruise in his Corvette anymore. Why? He's taken it out 3 times, and you've guessed it - all 3 … [Read more...]
High-Performance Interconnect for Robotics Applications
Robotics are everywhere, or so it seems. Robot combat, STEM outreach, robotic arms and advanced surgical devices are but a few applications that touch our everyday life. As a student, I was the President of the Santa Barbara City College Robotics Club and a FIRST Robotics competitor. These early experiences and opportunities have turned robotics into a personal passion As the world develops technologically, robots are used in more and more everyday applications. As an example, autonomous … [Read more...]

New Products, Technologies At electronica China
We all know the widespread havoc that Covid-19 wreaked in 2020. While the electronics industry in general, and connectors in particular, took an initial hit, the industry rebounded in the second half of 2020 and is rolling into 2021. Travel came to an almost stand-still in 2020, and the industry was quick to respond by converting in-person exhibitions, conferences, and shows to virtual events. In the U.S., many conferences are returning to live venues this summer. China has hosted several … [Read more...]
New High Speed Connector System: 56 Gbps PAM4 SI Evaluation Demonstration
Here's a live product demonstration of a new high speed connector system which achieves excellent SI results while running at 56 Gbps PAM4. Jean-Remy Bonnefoy, Systems Engineer at Samtec, explains how Samtec partnered with Credo for this active product demonstration. Credo’s mixed signal 56 Gbps PAM4 Bald Eagle 2 silicon generates two bi-directional channels of QPRBS-31 signal data at 56 Gbps PAM4. The differential signals travel through 2" of traces on a MEG4 PCB, to a Samtec … [Read more...]
Gen-Z Enables Heterogeneous Computing Networks
Digitization! Everyday, more of our daily life - work, play, sleep, food, entertainment and more - seems to have an online component. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the digitization trend - "Zoom me!" However, digitization has been ongoing for decades. A foundation of daily digitization goes back to Moore's law. CPUs are denser and faster than ever before. Computing networks based on x86 system architectures live on in laptops, workstations, servers and any number of embedded … [Read more...]
New COM-HPC Connectors Increase Density and Speed
The embedded world 2021 DIGITAL exhibition and conference recently concluded. A hot topic was the introduction of the PICMG® (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) COM-HPC® standard. COM-HPC® The COM-HPC standard is intended to coexist with the existing COM Express® standard. COM-HPC supports two different module types – one for high performance computing and one for embedded computing. COM-HPC improves on what is achievable in COM Express today. It uses a new high-speed connector … [Read more...]
