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...]
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 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’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 Minimizes Signal Loss
Martin Rowe and our friends at EDN recently ran an article entitled "High-Speed Signals Jump Over PCB Traces." Martin begins by explaining that every time serial data rates increase, they expose problems masked at slower speeds. He goes on to summarize, "Many of those problems occur because of decreased signal integrity from losses that occur in PCB traces, vias, and connectors ... Boards used in servers and switches are often quite large and they typically have "out of the box" … [Read more...]

Rugged Industrial Interconnects: The Design Behind The Description
Our friends at Connector Supplier keep the world up-to-date on everything in the connector universe. They recently ran an article from Samtec entitled Rugged Industrial Interconnects: The Design Behind The Description. Many industrial electronics OEM designers use the word "rugged" to describe their board-level interconnect needs. While rugged can mean different things to different people, it usually includes the ability to withstand high shock and vibration applications, maintain … [Read more...]
Samtec Launches New VITA 57.4 FMC+ ChalkTalk
It seems FPGAs are getting bigger and faster all the time. FPGA vendors continue to integrate more transceivers running at higher speeds in their newest ICs. As an example, the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ VU13P FPGA contains 128 GTY transceivers running data rates up to 32.75 Gbps. The increase in number and speed of transceivers on the FPGAs complements the Samtec roadmap of next-generation high-speed board-to-board connectors. Late last year, Samtec announced the … [Read more...]
QSFP-DD and FQSFP-DD: Not Your Brother’s Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable!
Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP) has become the workhorse pluggable module form factor. Originally intended as the next step past SFP/SFP+, QSFP supports data rates at 10 Gbps per channel (40 Gbps aggregate) and 25 Gbps per channel (100 Gbps aggregate). The current QSFP solution meets the demands of the telecom/datacom industries, for now. As advanced ASIC and FPGA solutions hit the market, a next generation module that overcomes the limitations of QSFP needs to perform at 50 Gbps+ per … [Read more...]
Flyover QSFP28 For 56+ Gbps Applications
At DesignCon 2017, Jim Nadolny, Samtec's Principle SI and EMI Engineer, presented(1) a technical paper entitled “Design of Flyover QSFP28 (FQSFP Series) for 56+ Gbps Applications.” This white paper discusses the Flyover QSFP (FQSFP) approach for 56+ Gbps applications to overcome the limitations from the large loss on typical QSFP ports with surface mount to PCB traces. By replacing the PCB traces to twinax cables, they achieved 7 dB lower insertion loss at 40 GHz -- compared to … [Read more...]
