Steve "Groot" Groothuis, CTO of Samtec Microelectronics, recently presented "Biomedical Solutions: Successfully Integrating New Chips, Packages, and Modules" at BIOMEDevice in Boston. The presentation included an overview of: How Samtec microelectronics are incorporated into medical devices and diagnostic equipmentGlass Core Technology (GCT), a proprietary process that leverages the performance benefits of glass by creating small diameter, fine pitch Through-Glass Vias (TGVs) that are … [Read more...]
12G SDI Signal Processing and Transmission Demonstration (NAB 2017)
Chris Shelly, Samtec's RF/SI Modeling Engineer, walks us through another 12G SDI product demonstration from NAB 2017. This demonstration showcases the Samtec BNC Edge Mount connector used in the Fidus® Gearbox+™ and the Phabrix® QX UHDTV 12G SDI generator/analyzer. This demonstration not only showcases the signal processing capabilities of both of these products, it also highlights the transmission of those signals through several other Samtec 75 ohm PCB connectors. Chris walks us … [Read more...]
Samtec Interconnect Solutions Drive “Big Data”
Data. Data. Data. The world is full of data. As humans breathe, use smartphones, or have a meal, a digital trail of data is left behind. That data trail is highly lucrative for companies ranging from retail and high-tech to online advertising and social media. Why all the fuss on Big Data? One source calls Big Data "extremely large data sets that may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions." … [Read more...]
Samtec 12G SDI Connectors Performance Demonstration at NAB 2017
Chris Shelly, Samtec's RF/SI Modeling Engineer, walks us through one of two 12G SDI live demonstrations at NAB 2017. This product demonstration showcases live Return Loss testing of different connectors series per the SMPTE ST-2082-1 12G SDI single channel 4K /UHD requirements. The demonstration highlights the custom launch design that successfully allow even the more challenging right angle connector configurations to perform at this high level. With PCB terminated RF … [Read more...]
Samtec Expands Eye Speed® Ultra Low Skew Twinax Cable Assembly Options
The ever-present demand for higher data throughput spans industries and applications. Regardless of industry, engineers continue to address SI performance demands all along the signal path: in PCBs, connectors and cables. Engineers realize that routing signals through lossy PCBs, vias and other components has become one of the most complex challenges designers face. Samtec's "Flyover" design approach breaks the constraints of traditional signaling. Samtec Eye Speed® Ultra Low Skew Twinax … [Read more...]
Samtec 12G SDI At NAB 2017
The North American Broadcast Show, or NAB, is April 22-27 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. NAB is about everything digital in the fields of media, entertainment, and technology. Samtec is exhibiting its line of 12G SDI RF interconnects, including a product demonstration showing live return loss testing of different 12G SDI products, as well as displays of other high-speed interconnects used in the broadcast video industry. If you're in Vegas, we'd love to see you at booth … [Read more...]
New Shielded, Rugged, High-Speed Interconnect System
Shielded Connectors For EMI, EMC Protection Samtec is expanding its line of rugged, high-speed 0.80 mm pitch Edge Rate® interconnects. First is a mating set with both socket (ERF8 Series) and terminal (ERM8 Series) strips that are fully shielded. The shield encircles the entire mated connector system (a full 360ᵒ) to minimize the effects of EMI and EMC. A 16 mm mated stack height will be released first, with 10 and 14 mm stacks to follow. The 12 mm stack with shielding is already … [Read more...]
Samtec’s Complete Line Of 12G-SDI Connectors, Including Right Angle
Consumers just want more HD video everywhere they go. The migration from 4G to 5G enables live streaming video consumption everywhere the wireless network reaches. Faster bandwidths via cable or fiber to the home provide the pipe to support the 4K/UHDTV products that are common online and in the local electronics store. HD studio cameras feed video headends at faster data rates. Live cameras in the field source HD video via satellite to the studio. News feeds are combined … [Read more...]
Samtec Flyover QSFP In Xilinx VCU118 (OFC 2017)
Kevin Burt, of the Samtec Optical Group, explains another one of the several demos that Samtec presented at OFC 2017. In this demo, four GT 28 Gbps transceiver signals are generated by an FPGA and launched mid-board from a FireFly™ 28 G x4 optical connector system. These 28 Gbps signals then “flyover” the board through a FQSFP twinax cable assembly, to the port, and loop back over the same path, where they are received by the FPGA. The Flyover™ QSFP28 … [Read more...]
Glass Weave Skew Effect In High Data Rate Serial Links
Our friend Eric Bogatin wrote a paper for DesignCon 2017 entitled "New Characterization Technique for Glass-Weave Skew." He wrote a summary article of the paper in Signal Integrity Journal. Since many of our readers strive to optimize their signal transmission path, I thought it would be worthwhile to pass this on. In Eric's own words, here's an overview of the article: The glass weave skew effect, sometimes referred to as the fiber weave effect, is an increasingly important … [Read more...]
