"Another blog about FPGA Development Kits? Again? Come on Samtec! Put something else up on the blog!" Umm . . . not today. Sorry! That quote may, or may not, be a comment Samtec bloggers have heard before. In any case, readers of the Samtec blog know FPGAs are a constant topic, Why? FPGA-based solutions combine flexibility and high-speed performance in small form factors. They are found in any number of unique applications. In both cases, these are common traits of … [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...]
PLDA and Samtec Demonstrate PCIe 4.0 over FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™
PLDA and Samtec recently announced a demo of their combined PCIe 4.0 solution that delivers full PCIe 4.0 bandwidth (16 GT/s) over copper or optical fiber at minimal cost. The joint demonstration combines PLDA’s PCIe 4.0 IP solutions with Samtec’s FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™. It delivers PCIe 4.0 speed without the use of retimers or updated motherboard using MEGTRON 6 other exotic laminates. This demo suggests a solution to overcoming the inherent limitations of maintaining PCIe 4.0 … [Read more...]

New Products, New Technologies, New Location At Electronica
Samtec is presenting new products and new technologies at Electronica 2018, as well as our full line of interconnects including High Speed Board-to-Board, High Speed Cable Assemblies, Micro/Rugged, Flexible Stacking, Optics and Precision RF. We are in a new location this year: we’re still in Hall B3, but we’re now at Stand 129, across from Molex. If you're at Electronica stop by and visit. If you're not in Munich you may still be interested in some of the new products we … [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 Demos High-Performance Platforms at XDF Silicon Valley
Samtec recently sponsored and attended the Xilinx Developer Forum (XDF) in Silicon Valley. XDF connects software developers and system designers to the deep expertise of Xilinx engineers, partners, and industry leaders. During the event, Samtec showed two high-speed demonstrations. Both platforms marry Samtec interconnect solutions with Xilinx silicon. The XDF demos are featured in the following videos. Samtec’s FQSFP-DD SI Evaluation Kit As data rates increase, trace … [Read more...]
Reach Beyond the Rack – Samtec/eSilicon 56G 5m Backplane Cable Demo to Debut at SC18
As data centers get faster and more complex, component suppliers must help system architects reach beyond the rack. The first-to-market solution from eSilicon and Samtec demonstrates high-performance connections between backplanes instead of the front panel. All are invited to see the demonstration in Samtec booth #521 at SC18. eSilicon 56G long-reach 7nm DSP SerDes Reach beyond the rack over 5m of copper cable? How? At 56G PAM4 data rates? That can't be right, is … [Read more...]
Alpha Data Network Accelerator Platforms Feature Samtec FireFly™ and FQSFP Solutions
