DesignCon 2018 has passed. For those involved from the high-speed communications and semiconductor communities, everyone needs time to catch their breath a bit before planning for the rest of 2018. Why? DesignCon always offers exposure to the latest state-of-the-art design methodologies, applications, technologies, and unparalleled networking opportunities. One question was on the minds of many: How […]
56 Gbps PAM4 Product Demonstrations At DesignCon 2018
56 Gbps PAM4, 112 Gbps PAM4, and 28 Gbps DesignCon is where Samtec showcases new products and product demonstrations that display high-speed technologies for Silicon-to-Silicon optimization. Our demos this year show interconnect systems in 56 Gbps PAM4, 112 Gbps PAM4, and 28 Gbps applications. Here’s a list of the demos scheduled for DesignCon 2018: 56 […]
Smile! You’re On (High Speed) Cameras!
We often take for granted the dual 12-megapixel camera collecting dust on the back of our smartphones or the fact that almost any building we enter has a sign reading “Smile, you’re on camera!”. Cameras have gone from a mysterious “stealer of souls” to a technology we can’t seem to live without. Although they are commonly […]
Samtec’s DesignCon 2018 Conference Schedule
DesignCon 2018, which is a big deal for Samtec, is a few weeks away. Our high-speed technologies for Silicon-to-Silicon optimization will be on full display and our product experts will show new products that are just released, or will be released in 2018. Our application engineers will demonstrate new system-level solutions, and our SI experts will […]
How Samtec Uses A Scanning Electron Microscope To Ensure Quality Connectors
Samtec is one of the fortunate connector companies to own a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). We recently upgraded our SEM to a new Jeol, JSM-IT500, which has a 100,000 X magnification power. I spoke with Dave Scopelliti, our Test, Measurement, and Processing Guru, about this new equipment and how Samtec uses the SEM to improve […]
New FPGA Development Platforms Feature Samtec High-Speed Solutions
FPGA system designers have no shortage of FPGA options for their next-gen end market solution. Xilinx continues to expand their UltraScale+ families. Intel PSG/Altera will ramp Arria 10 and Stratix 10 solutions well in to 2018. New FPGA products require a new generation of FPGA development platforms. Thankfully, both the Xilinx and Intel PSG/Altera design […]
EMI and You: Why It’s Important
There are few words in an electrical engineer’s life that make them cringe more than EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). From noise on the lines to crippling entire infrastructures, whether large or small, EMI presents a serious problem. As all active electrical systems emit electrical noise, every device is susceptible to the damages of EMI. Since this […]
Deep Channel Analysis for High-Speed Interconnect Solutions
The term “deep channel” may rekindle a childhood memory of an unusual swimming location. It may conjure visions of unique music compilations of others. “Deep channel” has a wider application in next-gen high-speed connectors and system design. SI engineers depend on deep channel analysis to push throughput to 56 Gbps and beyond across the entire signal […]
Samtec Rewrites the VITA 42 Story
Everyone loves a good book. From Shakespearean classics to more modern-day masterpieces, a solid story can leave a lasting impression. While the VITA family of standards isn’t necessarily a book, it does have a rich history with a large impact. As we learned in a previous blog, standards are always progressing, and, in this case, […]
More Than Just Connectors: Samtec’s Interconnect Processing Group
So you’ve finally found the right connector for your design. With low stack heights, SnPb finish on the tail, and a highly rated normal force, this should solve your signal integrity problems and be the connector/cable of your dreams, right? Well first of all, if you dream about connectors, something may be off. More importantly, interconnect […]
