Live Product Demonstration of 200G Co-Packaged Channel With Samtec Si-Fly HD and Broadcom SERDES Samtec presented several live product demonstrations showing 224 Gbps PAM4 interconnect solutions at DesignCon 2025. One which garnered a lot of attention was in conjunction with our friends at Broadcom. This evaluation platform incorporates Broadcom’s industry-leading 200G SERDES technology and Samtec’s…
Oh great, it’s another FMC-related blog from Samtec. I get why many Samtec blog readers may think that. VITA 57.1 FMC and VITA 57.4 FMC+ are not new or necessarily “newsworthy,” per se. On the other hand, that’s the beauty of FMC and FMC+. Both have stood the test of time. Nearly every FPGA/RFSoC evaluation…
I recently had the opportunity to dig into a few details on cable skew with Brandon Gore, PhD, Principal Technologist and Director at Samtec. Below are highlights from the discussion. As always, if you have questions on this topic, please feel free to reach out to [email protected]. LK: What are the types of cable intrapair…
High-performance computers, data centers, artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing, and sustainability were all front and center at SC24. One of the live product demonstrations at SC24 in the Samtec booth featured a Samtec Si-Fly® HD mid-board cable system operating at 224 Gbps PAM4, with excellent performance across one meter of cable. Samtec’s Ralph Page…
Servers form vital parts of today’s datacom infrastructure, but their use is constantly expanding beyond what might be considered the “traditional” view of data centers with their racks of computers. Cloud computing is now part of everyday life, from smartphones to powerful business machines. The cloud offers the opportunity to quickly expand storage and computing…
PCIe® 7.0 is a scalable interconnect solution for data-intensive markets that aims to double the data rate of PCIe 6.0. It’s designed to meet the high bandwidth demands of applications such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), machine learning, and data centers. PCIe 7.0 is targeted for member release in 2025. At ECOC 2024, Samtec presented a…
“Why do you accelerate so fast?” In my youth, I had that question posed to me too many times by nice police officers. There is no right answer to that question. I may have thought, “I wanted to see how fast my car could go.” But you can’t tell the nice police officer that, right?…
Ahhh . . . September. Airports are less crowded. Kids are back to school. Football (both kinds!) is back in full swing. For many folks in high-tech, the cooling temperatures of fall mean packing your bags and getting on the road. It’s trade show season. For Samtec, that means exhibiting at AI Hardware & Edge…
Samtec constantly strives to simplify the interconnect selection process for our engineering partners, users and customers. Whether Picture Search or one of several Solutionators, Samtec customers around the world leverage our design tools each day. So, what tools are available to help test and evaluate an interconnect? That’s where Samtec-designed Evaluation and Development Kits come…
Traditionally perceived as a chip-to-chip, single-host interconnect technology, PCIe (PCI Express) over fiber is making inroads into switch fabrics, challenging and potentially replacing previous interconnect technologies in embedded systems. In a new white paper, authors from Samtec and Dolphin ICS explain the use of PCIe for backplane expansion using fiber optics, including its applications and…
