Next-generation high-performance copper and optical interconnects must solve multiple technical challenges including higher data rates, increased system and chassis density and improved signal integrity. Samtec’s diverse product and technology … [Read more...]
We Have The Power!
I recently attended the Engineering Design Show in the UK, where one of the clear trends in evidence was the rise of power connectors for printed circuit boards (PCBs). The reasons are pretty clear. New technology is making ever-greater demands for more power in smaller spaces. The march towards miniaturisation continues, while at the same time users want systems with more and more functionality. Modern applications are placing demands for power delivery to the printed circuit board … [Read more...]
New 112 Gbps PAM4 NovaRay™ SI Eval Kit Featured at Keysight Event
"112 Gbps PAM4 data rates will save the world!" A reader of the Samtec blog may think that. Why? The demand for data never ceases. A recent report says that US teenagers spend seven hours a day in front of screens. But how real are 112 Gbps PAM4 data rates? Test silicon is available from a few SerDes and FPGA vendors. Production silicon is at least 18 months away. However, 112 Gbps PAM4 data rate system design and testing are already underway. The SI requirements for next-gen … [Read more...]
AI, 5G and Automotive – Dispatches from XDF Silicon Valley
The FPGA (or ACAP) universe gathered at the San Jose Fairmount last week during the Xilinx Developer Forum. Engineers, data scientists, analysts, distributors, alliance partners and more came to learn about the latest hardware, software and system level solutions from Xilinx. Xilinx CEO Victor Peng set the theme of the event with his keynote. Xilinx (and thier partner's) business strategies revolve around three key growth drivers: Data Center, 5G and Automotive. The Samtec team … [Read more...]
Samtec Expands VITA 57.4 with FMC+ Extender Card
Developing with FPGAs requires patience. Why? They are so flexible and configurable. System designers are only limited by their imagination. Prototyping with FPGAs also poses many challenges. It seems like there are new FMC / FMC+ solutions appearing daily. Sometimes the FPGA carrier card or development board can get crowded. How can that be fixed? VITA 57.4 FMC+ Extender Card Engineers prototyping with industry-standard FPGA evaluation and development kits often leverage the FMC+ … [Read more...]
New Intel FPGA Platform Features Samtec Interconnect
Transceivers. SerDes. XCVRs. Tx/Rx. Yada, Yada, Yada. FPGA designers want more of them. FPGA designers want them to be faster. Thankfully, the leading FPGA suppliers are answering the call. The Samtec blog features many solutions from Xilinx, but what about Intel? What options are they promoting? Intel® Agilex™ FPGA and SoCs Intel recently released their latest FPGA/SoC platform called Intel® Agilex™. This family leverages Intel's 10nm process technology and advanced architectures. … [Read more...]
Don’t Forget Bulls Eye® and FPGAs on Vacation
Prime vacation (or holiday) season is in full gear. Travel spots range from the beach to cultural attractions in the latest "hot spots". Whether sunning in the Côte d'Azur or hiking in the Andes, everybody's focus is their . . . smart phone? Really? For (almost) everybody, the latest moment MUST be shared on social media. What happens when no connection is available? Panic! Fortunately, connectivity is almost everywhere. Just ask the closest teenager! What does this have to do with … [Read more...]
