New prodesign Acceleration Card Includes Samtec NovaRay® Extreme Density Arrays
The recent popularity and interest in ChatGPT underscore the progress AI has made in affecting everyday life. Who has asked ChatGPT to finish a homework assignment or write a blog? (For full disclosure, this blog has been written by a real person. Or has it? 😉) In any case, the backbone of chatbots like ChatGPT and similar services are high-performance compute platforms enabling neural networks and AI acceleration in data centers. Obviously, GPUs have a leadership position in AI hardware … [Read more...]
PCIe 6.0 Data Routed From New Chip-Adjacent Connector To Front Panel
PCIe 6.0, optics, 112 Gbps PAM4, linear direct drives, PCIe over fiber. Samtec displayed a variety of live product demonstrations - both optical and copper - at OFC 2023. Two demos, both in tandem with our partner Cadence, received much attention. Both demonstrated cutting-edge data rates, one at 112 Gbps PAM4, and the other is 64 GT/s, PCIe 6.0 data rates. And both show excellent signal integrity performance from our Samtec Flyover® High-Speed cable systems. This blog and video … [Read more...]
Samtec Releases New Evaluation and Development Kits
Readers of the Samtec blog know that the demand for data keeps increasing. Rightly, data center applications may be the first to enter one's mind. However, faster speeds are required in AI/ML, Mil/Aero, Automotive, Medical, Instrumentation, and many other applications as well. Engineers developing new products at higher speeds need reassurance that the components they select work as advertised. Samtec-designed Evaluation and Development Kits simplify the interconnect design process and reduce … [Read more...]
High-Speed Cable System and Blockchain ISI Demonstrate Excellent 112 Gbps PAM4 Performance
OFC 2023 saw the world premiere of Credo’s DOVE 800 family, teamed with a Samtec Flyover cable assembly, and a Samtec blockchain ISI board, both demonstrating outstanding performance at 112 Gbps PAM4. The DOVE 800 is a retimer, with eight lanes of 100 G to 100 G. Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, walks us through the two signal paths. In channel one, a BERT is generating eight lanes of 112 Gbps PAM4, PRBS 31-bit data, which travels through low-loss coax cable to a Samtec … [Read more...]
New Samtec Flyover® Cable System Extends Signal Reach At Next Gen Data Rates
The insatiable bandwidth demand for next gen data rates is driven by applications like the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, supercomputing, and 5G. In this video from OFC 2023, Matt Burns walks us through a live product demonstration of a Samtec Flyover® Cable System showing excellent performance at 112 Gbps PAM4. The signal source is a Cadence 112 G ELR SerDes PHY, and the signal is run through a Samtec Flyover cable assembly that’s up to the task. The Cadence … [Read more...]
Cutting Edge High-Speed Cable Performance Measured By The World’s First 53 GHz Scalable VNA
In this live demonstration from DesignCon 2023, the performance of a Samtec high-speed cable system is measured by the world’s first scalable VNA. Matt Burns (Technical Marketing Manager, Samtec), and Mike Resso (Signal Integrity Application Scientist, Keysight) explain the demo and equipment. The scalable VNA is Keysight's Digital Interconnect Test System, with 16 ports that are expandable to 32 ports at 53 GHz. In this demonstration, Mike has calibrated all 16 ports of the Keysight PXI-VNA … [Read more...]
The Best Connector Blogs Of 2022
From the top plays in sports to the top news stories, to the best of new electronic equipment and technologies, I love end-of-the-year lists. But compiling one of these lists can be easier said than done. Samtec published 142 blogs in 2022, and it's challenging to select the best connector blogs with so many good options to choose from. Several of us reviewed all of the options, and here's our list of Samtec's best connector blogs of 2022, based on our subjective definitions of "best." BTW, … [Read more...]
Samtec SI Technologists to Present at EDI CON Online 2022
"I'm lovin' it." "Can you hear me now?" "Just do it." "Where High Frequency Meets High Speed" The first three taglines are a part of pop culture lexicon. The last describes an annual technology event - EDICON Online 2022 - focused on training and informing engineers on that latest high-performance technologies, solutions, trends and design techniques. The world of high-frequency and high-speed is converging as never before. Real-world and modeled 224 Gbps PAMx system design … [Read more...]
New Cable System Improves Thermal Management and Extends Signal Reach
A new high-speed, high-density Samtec Flyover® cable system extends signal reach to achieve next-gen speeds and improves thermal management. Andy Shrout, Samtec’s High-Speed Cable Product Manager, walks us through this demonstration, originally shown at DesignCon 2022. High-speed channels route directly off the chip package substrate to the front panel, through Samtec Eye Speed® Ultra-Low Skew Twinax. The channels don’t route through BGAs and multi-layer PCBs. This demo also shows how … [Read more...]
