“I need more . . .”
That phrase can end in a number of ways. For Trekkies, James T. Kirk would tell Montgomery Scott “power”. Gordon Gecko and other Wall Streeters would say “money” of “greed”. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell would say “speed”.

What about engineers? They are likely to say “knowledge”, “tools” or “product info”. At least, that’s what Samtec blogs think engineers would say.
In that vein, Samtec and our partners (We love you, Mouser!) have released a number of new Chalk Talk on-demand webcasts. These new episodes provide a brief but deep overview of several high-performance interconnect solutions now available from Samtec.
Precision RF Interconnect
Cabling and connectors for RF design are critical to performance. And, in the world of microwave and millimeter-wave design, choosing the right interconnect for your frequency band is key to signal integrity.
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Matthew Burns of Samtec about what you need to know to choose the right interconnect solution for your next RF design.

Bulls Eye® High-Performance Test
Today’s high-speed serial interfaces with PAM4 present serious challenges when it comes to test. Eval boards can end up huge, and signal integrity of the test point system is always a concern.
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Matthew Burns of Samtec about the Bulls Eye High-Performance Test System, which can maintain signal integrity up to 70 GHz with a compact test point footprint.

PCIe® Interconnect Solutions
It seems like PCIe® technologies never slow down. PCIe 4.0 operates at 16 GT/s. Newly released PCIe 5.0 runs up to 32 GT/s. PCIe 6.0 is targted for 64 GT/s. New advances demand new connectors, and the challenge of maintaining signal integrity has only gotten tougher.
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Matthew Burns of Samtec about why PCIe isn’t just for PCs, what PCIe over fiber looks like, and how Samtec’s team of signal integrity experts can help with your next PCIe design.

Immersion Cooling
For truly high-performance systems, liquid immersion cooling is often the best solution. But, jumping into immersion cooling requires careful consideration of elements such as connectors.
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Brian Niehoff of Samtec about connector solutions for immersion-cooled applications.
