It provides an ideal proof-of-concept for long reach signals over cabled backplanes. This demonstration was first presented at DesignCon 2018 in Santa Clara, CA. Eight ports of 50+ Gbps PAM4 data are sourced from the Credo 50 … [Read more...]
Keysight, Samtec 56 Gbps PAM4 QSFP-DD Flyover Demo
This 56 Gbps PAM4 demonstration of a Keysight 32 port PXI VNA with Samtec Flyover™ interconnect systems was presented at DesignCon 2018. In this video, Keith Guetig (who is Samtec's answer to Matt Damon) explains how Samtec's Flyover™ designs provide a cost effective, high-performance answer to the challenges of 28 and 56 Gbps bandwidth, and beyond. A Keysight Keysight M9375A PXIe VNA sources 8 pairs of 56G-PAM4 reference channels. The 8 signal pairs route through a Samtec high … [Read more...]
Samtec + Credo 112 Gbps PAM4 Long Reach Cable Demonstration
Credo and Samtec teamed-up to to show an impressive 112 Gbps PAM4 long-reach cable demonstration at DesignCon 2018. In this video, Samtec's Ralph Page and Credo's Alex Narazi walk us through the demo and the results achieved. Signal Path Three ports of 112 Gbps PAM4 data are sources from the Credo 112 Gbps PAM4 CDRs. The signals are routed through RF jumpers to an SI characterization card for Samtec's next-gen AcceleRatee® Cable Assemblies. One data path is a signal while the … [Read more...]

The pin-to-ground differential pair configuration enables very low crosstalk to 40 GHz+, tight impedance … [Read more...]
Samtec FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ Links ASIC Development Platforms
As with any product development, ASIC designers aim to quicken time to market and reduce unnecessary design cycles. Designing full-custom ASICs comes with many benefits but leveraging the flexibility, configurability and high-performance of FPGAs has become a preferred method for ASIC development. ASIC development with FPGAs features several benefits. FPGAs allow for fast and accurate ASIC modeling and verification. Emulated prototype ASICs enable accelerated software and firmware … [Read more...]
Deep Channel Analysis for High-Speed Interconnect Solutions
The term "deep channel" may rekindle a childhood memory of an unusual swimming location. It may conjure visions of unique music compilations of others. "Deep channel" has a wider application in next-gen high-speed connectors and system design. SI engineers depend on deep channel analysis to push throughput to 56 Gbps and beyond across the entire signal channel. The "Channel" in Deep Channel Analysis In legacy system designs, developers were able to focus on components selection. As long as … [Read more...]
28 Gbps Of Data Over Six Feet Of Copper Cable
28 Gbps Steve Leibson(1) and our friends at Xilinx® recently posted a blog about an interconnect system that carries four lanes of 28 Gbps data over six feet of cable. Since this is a Samtec blog, of course it's a Samtec connector they're talking about. The Xilinx blog references a short video that shows a Samtec QSFP28 copper flyover™ carrying four lanes of 28 Gbps serial data error free over six feet of copper twinax cable with plenty of margin. Steve goes on to point out that … [Read more...]
Samtec FireFly™ Routes Data over PCBs in New Guzik ADP7000 Series Digitizers for 5G NR
As consumers, no one ever complains that their wireless connectivity is "too fast". Global wireless carriers and network providers continue to push the limits of 4G LTE, but a next-generation wireless standard - 5G New Radio (5G NR) - is on the horizon. 5G technology will be 100x faster than current 4G LTE solutions currently on the market. While some early adopters will see 5G rollouts in late 2017 and early 2018, large-scale deployments are planned for 2019, a year earlier than … [Read more...]
Xilinx Features FireFly on VCU118 FPGA Dev Kit
You can do a lot in three minutes. From counting to 180 to making toast, the possibilities are endless. However, our good friend Steve Leibson at Xilinx, encourages you to use your three minutes to take a look at our new video featuring Samtec's FQSFP cable on Xilinx VCU118 FPGA. We couldn't agree more. 28Gbps FireFly Loopback in Action Steve goes on to state in his blog: "Samtec recently posted a 3-minute video demonstrating its FireFly Micro Flyover Cable … [Read more...]
