In this video, Ralph Page, System Architect at Samtec, walks us through a demonstration of a prototypical PCIe 6.0 AI hardware design based on the GenZ-PECFF form factor. Working … [Read more...]
New NovaRay Front Panel I/O Outperforms QSFP-DD
A new demonstration platform combines 112 Gbps PAM4 silicon from our partner Alphawave, with Samtec’s extreme performance, extreme density NovaRay® I/O front panel interconnect system. In this video from SC21 (Super Computing 2021), Samtec's Matt Burns walks us through the demonstration and explains that while they have essentially the same channel loss, the Samtec NovaRay I/O system provides twice the cable length and twice the density of QSFP-DD. Alphawave’s latest SerDes silicon … [Read more...]
OCP: New 112 Gbps PAM4 Products, Technologies
We're looking forward to the OCP Global Summit! The Keynote speakers, workshops, exhibitions, and other Summit features are back and in-person (as well as virtually), all with Covid-19 safeguards, of course. As data rate requirements approach and surpass the 112 Gbps threshold, developers are challenged with balancing increasing throughput, scalability and density demands with concerns such as power consumption, signal integrity, cost and time-to-market. Samtec helps address these … [Read more...]

High Speed Cable System Tested At 67 GHz
Designers are well-aware that as data rate requirements approach and surpass 112 Gbps PAM4, they face challenges of balancing increasing throughput, scalability and density demands with concerns such as power consumption, signal integrity, cost and time-to-market, to name a few. A live demonstration, from DesignCon 2021, shows how Samtec Eye Speed® Ultra Low Skew Twinax cable can help designers overcome some of these challenges by using Samtec Flyover® high-speed cable systems. Rohde … [Read more...]
Samtec SI/PI Capabilities Simplify Design and Accelerate Time-To-Market
Signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) concepts confuse many seasoned engineers. Yet, they are both essential to modern, high-performance system architectures and system design. Designing for High-Speed "It's all about the signal channel!" That's it. That's the short and simple secret to SI. As an electrical engineer, PCB design or SI specialist, routing a signal from point A (say the transmitter) to point B (say a receiver) with as little attenuation as possible is the design … [Read more...]
New High Speed Cable System Enables 112 Gbps PAM4
A new high speed cable system, which enables 112 Gbps PAM4 signaling, can be used in mid-board, mid-board-to-front-panel, and panel-to-panel applications. This video from DesignCon 2021 shows a live product demonstration with a Samtec NovaRay®, Flyover® Cable system operating at 112 Gbps PAM4, as well as a Bulls Eye® high-performance test cable system. It’s all driven by a Xilinx ® Versal™ Premium GTM transceiver. The Versal Premium ACAP allows vendors to position their … [Read more...]
