A joint demonstration between Samtec and eSilicon -- an eSilicon 7 nm 56 Gbps DSP SerDes over a Samtec 5 meter ExaMAX® backplane cable assembly -- caught a lot of attention at SC18. The demo showed a true long-reach capability with a high-performance, flexible, easy-to-configure SerDes that targets common data center standards and data rates. In this video Samtec’s Ralph Page and eSilicon’s Roberto Massolini walk us through the demo, explaining the logistics and the results … [Read more...]

Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization
Samtec's Gustavo Blando recently presented "Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization" at EDI CON 2018 in Santa Clara, California. A video of the workshop is above, and below is Gus's summary of his presentation. VNA measurements are the backbone of any SI analysis, both for correlation and basic interconnect understanding. As bit rate increases and specs tighten, accurate measurement at higher frequencies is of paramount importance. For convenience, a coaxial style connector is … [Read more...]

Samtec Demos High-Performance Platforms at XDF Silicon Valley
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 videos. Samtec’s FQSFP-DD SI Evaluation Kit As data rates increase, trace … [Read more...]
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 the rack over 5m of copper cable? How? At 56G PAM4 data rates? That can't be right, is … [Read more...]
Samtec Introduces New SI Evaluation 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 provides easy access to the power, I/O memory and interface circuitry required for the RFSoC to … [Read more...]
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 expanding line of precision RF interconnects, as well as high-speed/high-density … [Read more...]
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 you that aren't familiar, PC/104 is an embedded computing standard that was founded in 1992 with the … [Read more...]
