Samtec continues to expand its line of shielded interconnects, both board-to-board and cable-to-board systems. These are used in a variety of industries and applications, one being industrial equipment. Shielded interconnects are a good thing because EMI is a four-letter word for most designers. I do and don't mean that literally, although I do know there are three types of people in this world: those who can count and those who can't. Anyway, not to be Captain Obvious, but most … [Read more...]
High Speed Interconnect Demos At Electronica 2018
Samtec's full line of high speed interconnect products was on display and in demonstrations at Electronica 2018. Focus products included high speed mezzanine high speed cable assemblies high speed backplane connectors active optical cable assemblies Two of the demos that caught a lot of attention were the 28 G Product Demonstrator and the REFLEX CES Sargon Stratix 10 FPGA FMC+ IDK. 28 G Product Demonstrator In this video, Samtec's Neil Potter walks us through the 28 G … [Read more...]
New Catalog, New Products
Yeah, we know it's the digital age, but we still print catalogs because a lot customers still ask for them. We print less than we used to, but they're still available. Our new F-219 catalog was just released and it includes at least 34 new product series. Most are available and some are soon-be-released, but here's a summary of some of the new products that I think are particulary cool: NovaRay™ Samtec’s NovaRay™ is an industry-leading high bandwidth, high-density interconnect system. The … [Read more...]
Samtec Introduces New SI Evaluation Kits
Any engineer who has designed an IC-based solution likely used some sort of HW development tool. Semiconductor manufacturers have a long history of providing engineers with the HW tools needed to test their silicon. Evaluation platforms, like the Xilinx® Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit, provide the ideal development environment for evaluating the cutting edge silicon. The ZCU111 provides easy access to the power, I/O memory and interface circuitry required for the RFSoC to … [Read more...]
EDI CON 2018: New Products, New Technologies
EDI CON USA brings together RF, microwave, EMC/EMI, and high-speed digital design engineers and system integrators for networking, product demonstrations, training, and learning opportunities. And as you have probably already guessed, Samtec will be attending EDI CON. We will be presenting two workshops (more on this below), displaying and demonstrating our RF interconnect solutions, including our expanding line of precision RF interconnects, as well as high-speed/high-density interconnect … [Read more...]
Products, Technologies, Demos at OCP Europe
OCP Europe and Samtec OCP Europe is quickly becoming a leading technology event for the data center industry. As a leader in high-speed connectivity, Samtec will demonstrate multiple Silicon-to-Silicon system optimization architectures. Samtec application engineers and signal integrity experts will be on to provide details on these new system-level solutions. Two demonstrations will be front-and-center at our booth (booth #A23). The first is a fully-functional 12.8 Terabit OCP wedge switch … [Read more...]
Innovative High Speed Solutions With One Up Studio
One Up Studio is a hardware design engineering provider with a focus on signal integrity, and not coincidentally, a Samtec customer. I caught up with Paul Monar, the owner, to pick his brain about some interesting design challenges he faces at One Up and his connector system selection criteria. DANNY: What type of customers use One Up Studio? Why? PAUL: Most of our customers are newer IoT companies with products including smart home devices, wearables, industrial control, and smart … [Read more...]
Samtec and Molex Share High Speed Product IP
Our friends at Signal Integrity Journal recently reported Samtec's and Molex's collaboration on high speed, next-generation data centers. The complete article is worth the read, but here's the Cliff's Notes version: SIJ referred to the Licensed Source Agreement for the Samtec Twinax Flyover™ and Molex BiPass™ systems fo high-speed data (56 Gbps and 112 Gbps) speeds. According to a Molex spokesperson, both product lines approach their customers’ design challenges in the same fundamental … [Read more...]
Samtec Twinax Flyover QSFP-DD Cable Maintains SI Performance in Rugged Environments
Samtec recently completed an arduous flex and bend test on our Eye Speed® Ultra-Low Skew Twinax cable. This is used in our high speed cable assemblies, including the Samtec Flyover™ FQSFP-DD cable assembly. Besides achieving outstanding electrical performance, the testing has proved the cable to be rugged and provide stable electrical performance after repeated cycles. QSFP-DD 101 QSFP-DD is a new module and cage/connector system similar to current QSFP, but with an additional row of … [Read more...]
Samtec Releases New Protocol Capabilities for High Performance Interconnect
"Which Samtec connectors and cable assemblies support (pick a protocol)?" That is one of the most common questions asked of Samtec sales and support teams. That is natural because many engineers know what protocols and data rates need supporting in their designs. Sometimes the answer is straightforward. Samtec's PCI Express® Edge Card Connector (PCIE series) supports the latest PCIe data rates. In other cases, the answer is more nuanced. Protocol support depends on any number of … [Read more...]
