Samtec Bulls Eye® test point systems are ideal for high-performance test applications because of their compression interfaces, small footprint, and high cycle count capabilities. Bulls Eye is now available in 50 GHz and 20 GHz designs, with a system up to 70 GHz in development. Bulls Eye is a popular product because: The grid design and smaller footprint enables smaller evaluation boards and shorter trace lengths. The high-density array design significantly saves PCB space compared to … [Read more...]
Rugged, High Bandwidth Interconnects Save Space On PCB
Edge Rate®, one of Samtec’s most popular high speed, high bandwidth interconnect systems, also saves space on your PCB. Edge Rate is both the name of the contact system and the product family. The contact system is designed for high speed, high cycle, rugged applications. With some connectors, the mating edge of the contact is the cut edge of the pin (but not Edge Rate!). If you look at the edge of the pin under a microscope you may see micro burrs and edges. This reduces the life of … [Read more...]
5 Meter, 56 Gbps Long Reach Backplane Cable Assembly For Rack to Rack Applications
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 Flyover systems can be used in mid-board applications to achieve next gen speeds with longer reach … [Read more...]
112 Gbps Interconnect Increases Reach Between the ASIC and the Front Panel
In this demonstration at DesignCon 2019, J.R. Bonnefoy (a Systems Engineer at Samtec) explains how Samtec Flyover® offers a 112 Gbps high-density escape from the system ASIC to the front panel. Signal Path A Credo Pelican II SERDES generates 31-bit PRBS data at 112 Gbps PAM4 data rates. Signals travel from the Credo test board, through precision RF cable assemblies, to a Samtec NovaRay cable assembly SI evaluation board. The signals then route through the NovaRay board, to the … [Read more...]
English Guy (Who Thinks He’s James Bond) Demos 56 Gbps System With 5.8 Tbps Throughput
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 silicon. Each signal generated is QPRBS 31, 56 Gbps PAM4 data, equivalent to 5.8 Tbps of … [Read more...]
112 Gbps PAM4 Backplane Cable: Higher Performance, Less PCB Complexity
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 help extend signal reach and density to achieve next gen speeds by routing signals via Eye Speed® ultra-low … [Read more...]
Submersible Optical Transceiver For Super Computing
Next generation super computers, quantum computing, AI engines, and high-performance emulation systems are all evaluating the benefits of liquid cooling. Liquid cooling removes the heat more efficiently than airflow, eliminates the noisy, power-hungry fans used in traditional air-cooled systems and enables denser, more-efficient processing boards and systems. One technology holding back the adoption of liquid cooling has been the lack of optical transceivers which perform … [Read more...]
112 Gbps PAM4 Samtec Flyover™ Live Demonstration
112 Gbps Samtec Flyover™ Demo Samtec’s Ralph Page walks us through a live demonstration of a Samtec Flyover™ system which enables 112 Gbps PAM4 performance. The Credo CDR generates two ports of 31-bit PRBS data at 112 Gbps PAM4 data rates. The signal travels from the Credo Pelican II SERDES test board through precision RF cable assemblies, to a Samtec Flyover™ QSFP-DD SI Evaluation Kit. This cable assembly, approximately 12” (30.5 cm) long, uses Samtec 34 AWG Eye Speed® Ultra-Low … [Read more...]
New Signal, Power Edge Card Connector
The HSEC8 series, a high-speed edge card socket on .8 mm pitch, is our most popular edge card connector, and one of our biggest selling products series. New Signal, Power Card Edge Connector A recently released option on the HSEC8 is a signal, power card edge combo connector. The HSEC8-PV is available with one or two banks of power pins. Each bank contains two power pins, and each bank is rated up to 60 amps. Through-hole tails on the power pins are designed for .062” (1.60 mm) and .093” … [Read more...]
56 Gbps, 5 Meter Backplane Cable Assembly Demo
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. In this video Samtec’s Ralph Page and eSilicon’s Roberto Massolini walk us through the demo, explaining the logistics and the results … [Read more...]
