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...]
Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization
Samtec's Gustavo Blando recently presented "Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization" at EDI CON 2018 in Santa Clara, California. A video of the workshop is above, and below is Gus's summary of his presentation. VNA measurements are the backbone of any SI analysis, both for correlation and basic interconnect understanding. As bit rate increases and specs tighten, accurate measurement at higher frequencies is of paramount importance. For convenience, a coaxial style connector is … [Read more...]
Shielded Interconnects For Industrial Applications
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 mezzaninehigh speed cable assemblieshigh speed backplane connectorsactive 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 … [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 … [Read more...]
