Traveling to a far-away destination usually involves a choice: do I drive or do I fly? Driving entails a slower pace and traffic while flying allows a direct connection to your final destination for around the same price. This simple analogy illustrates choices electronics designers face in getting data from point A to point B. Technology advancement drives added functionality in many of today’s popular applications. OEMs are responding by adding computing and processing power via advanced … [Read more...]

A practical case study in our Silicon to Silicon System Optimization capabilities is leading FPGA vendor Xilinx. … [Read more...]
Samtec Releases Twinax Flyover Application Design Guide
The march to faster data rates never seems to stop. Communications protocols used in the data center provide the proof. Fiber Channel signals can run up to 32 Gbps. 25G Ethernet 802.3bj and Ethernet 100G signals can run up to 25Gbps. InfiniBand EDR 104G serial channels support 26 Gbps data rates. This presents engineers of high-speed serial channels with a number of PCB design challenges. Some of the key limitations of PCBs running at 28+ Gbps include trace … [Read more...]
Samtec Updates Broadcast Video Solution Guide
Streaming HD video and 4K/8K UHDTV are just two examples of a continuing evolution in video signaling. Video has transformed from being an analog 6 MHz bandwidth signal to a 12 Gbps digital data stream. As signaling has transitioned into the digital domain, first in SD and HD formats, and recently at 6 Gbps and 12 Gbps 4K UHD-SDI standards, the demand for meeting stringent return loss requirements up to 12 GHz has emerged. Samtec offers a full line of high-speed board-to-board and RF … [Read more...]
