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 […]
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 […]
Samtec Introduces New SI Characterization Kits
Any engineer who has designed an IC-based solution likely used some sort of HW development tool. Semiconductor manufacturers have a long history of providing engineers with the HW tools needed to test their silicon. Evaluation platforms, like the Xilinx® Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit, provide the ideal development environment for evaluating the cutting edge silicon. The ZCU111 […]
EDI CON 2018: New Products, New Technologies
EDI CON USA brings together RF, microwave, EMC/EMI, and high-speed digital design engineers and system integrators for networking, product demonstrations, training, and learning opportunities. And as you have probably already guessed, Samtec will be attending EDI CON. We will be presenting two workshops (more on this below), displaying and demonstrating our RF interconnect solutions, including our […]
Samtec Releases New PC/104 Standards Web Pages
While Samtec continues to push the boundaries of high-speed data rates with evolving silicon-to-silicon, optics, and microelectronics technologies, one of our all-time bestsellers continues to be our Standard Board-to-Board connector series. Samtec’s B2B connectors are what started it all, and, interestingly enough, are what got the company involved with the PC/104 Consortium. For those of […]
Packaging Innovations For Medical Wearables
Steve Groothuis — or Groot to everybody else on this planet — Chief Technology Officer of Samtec Microelectronics, recently presented “Packaging Innovations For Medical Wearables” at the Medical Wearables Conference in Santa Clara, California. Groot’s presentation focused on the specific needs, challenges, and innovations within upcoming medical applications and medical device packaging. We caught up […]
Guidelines For Processing Micro Pitch Edge Card Connectors
Processing Micro Pitch Edge Card Connectors Processing micro pitch edge card connectors is easy, just like playing first base. Of course we know that’s a lie — manufacturing challenges increase as connector pitches decrease. Samtec recently released a 0.50 mm pitch edge card socket. The new MEC5 series (in vertical and right angle designs) is […]
Cobalt Digital Improves High Density Signal Processing
Cobalt Digital is a US company that designs and manufactures electronic equipment for the HD & 4K television production and broadcast markets. I recently spoke with Jesse Foster, Cobalt Digital’s VP of Marketing and Strategy, about the company, their industry, and the design challenges they face. DANNY: Jesse, Tell me about Cobalt Digital. What is their product […]
Connector Voltage and Power Rating 101
Every day, Samtec’s Application Support Group answers questions about connector mechanical, thermal, and electrical specifications. Designers frequently ask how much current, voltage and power a Samtec connector can carry. Samtec Associate Dave Scopelliti prepared an excellent document with the goal of taking the confusion out of voltage and power ratings in specifications and in product […]
Samtec Twinax Flyover QSFP-DD Cable Maintains SI Performance in Rugged Environments
Samtec recently completed an arduous flex and bend test on our Eye Speed® Ultra-Low Skew Twinax cable. This is used in our high speed cable assemblies, including the Samtec Flyover™ FQSFP-DD cable assembly. Besides achieving outstanding electrical performance, the testing has proved the cable to be rugged and provide stable electrical performance after repeated cycles. QSFP-DD 101 […]
