I usually like to open a blog article with something snappy. But like Robert Downey, Jr.’s Tony Stark in the scene referenced, I couldn’t come up with anything. Oh well! I guess we will just stay with the basics.
Samtec has launched a new Optical Transceiver Center of Excellence (CoE). Why is this necessary?

Samtec offers the industry’s largest selection of embedded mid-board optical transceivers. Our design tools and expertise help optical engineers develop systems with reliable fiber connectivity over extended distances of up to 150m.
Like the similar SI/PI CoE, the Optical Transceiver CoE features a number of solutions helpful to both newly-graduated and experienced engineers. All necessary design support – whether engineer-to-engineer consulting, online design tools, technical data, testing platforms, IBIS-AMI models, and more – are at the engineer’s fingertips.
Key Optical Transceiver CoE Features
Samtec’s award-winning website is regularly updated with easy-to-use resources, materials and tools to help streamline your design process. As an example, Samtec-designed Optical Transceiver Evaluation and Development Kits simplify the optical transceiver evaluation process and reduce time to market for hobbyists, tinkerers, and professional engineers alike. Samtec offers the industry’s most comprehensive set of optical transceiver evaluation and development tools.

Samtec engineers offer support for simulating, evaluating and selecting optical transceivers for any system design. For example, Samtec optical transceiver IBIS-AMI models help system engineers model and simulate the performance of the Samtec FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ in real world applications.
Samtec leverages optical engineering and SI expertise, along with the industry’s leading software and hardware to provide reliable data for design evaluation and customization.
Samtec’s optical engineering technical experts educate the industries via webinars, videos and more. The newly released PCI Express®-Over-Optics in Embedded Applications: A Guide to Easy Implementation white paper is a great example . It defines challenges and provide easy-to-use solutions for enabling this key technology.
