New Year’s resolutions. Many of us make them, whether it’s to continue a good habit, change a bad one or accomplish a new goal, improvement is the focus. The hardest part of this process is the time between making the plan and accomplishing it. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just skip ahead to the finished goal? We agree. While we may not be able to help with your fitness goal, Samtec’s ExaMAX® backplane system can meet your application needs by improving signal integrity and routability. … [Read more...]

It utilizes Samtec Flyover® to extend signal reach and density to achieve these next gen … [Read more...]
Parting Thoughts from SC19
SC19 has come and gone. Anticipation for SC20 in Atlanta is already building. Before we look ahead, what were some highlights from SC19? AI is Everywhere AI is affecting all aspects of life. At SC19, technical presentations showed how AI and HPC are helping researchers cure heart disease, predict weather patterns more accurately and make the best stock trades on Wall Street. From Samtec's perspective, the high-speed physical layer connectivity must perform as expected for AI … [Read more...]

Samtec Releases New Interconnect Evaluation and Development Kits
FireFly™, ExaMAX® and Bulls Eye®, oh my! So, obviously, that is one geek's riff on a popular song in The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tinman were anxious for what came next on their walk down the Yellow Brick Road. Similarly, Samtec engineering customers are also anxious and excited. For what? Samtec's latest evaluation and development kits. Who wouldn't be anxious and excited? Samtec has released a number of new kits. These include solutions for RF test point systems, optical … [Read more...]
SC19: Samtec Launches New 56/112 Gbps PAM4 Demos
Scientists, researchers, and data analysts from academia, industry and government agencies will be center stage at SC19 next week in Denver. SC19 is the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis. Next-generation high-performance copper and optical interconnects must solve multiple technical challenges including higher data rates, increased system and chassis density and improved signal integrity. Samtec’s diverse product and technology … [Read more...]
Is Copper Dead?
In 1995, I attended a seminar in which the presenter told us that copper was dead. This sort of statement is not new. The connector market is filled with armchair pundits who predict the demise of everything from D-Subminiature connectors (which are very much alive and kicking) to the V.35 telecommunications connector (which is as dead as the Dodo). This just goes to prove that it is almost impossible to predict the future trends of this industry with any certainty. Making … [Read more...]
AI, 5G and Automotive – Dispatches from XDF Silicon Valley
The FPGA (or ACAP) universe gathered at the San Jose Fairmount last week during the Xilinx Developer Forum. Engineers, data scientists, analysts, distributors, alliance partners and more came to learn about the latest hardware, software and system level solutions from Xilinx. Xilinx CEO Victor Peng set the theme of the event with his keynote. Xilinx (and thier partner's) business strategies revolve around three key growth drivers: Data Center, 5G and Automotive. The Samtec team … [Read more...]
