Samtec continues to expand its capabilities in support of backplane connector applications. In addition to our recent announcement with Amphenol, we continue to augment the ecosystem of support required for these high-speed, high-performance products. When we announced the initial release of Channelyzer™ - Samtec's Online Full Channel Simulation and Analysis tool - earlier this year, the tool initially supported only high-speed board-to-board applications. We … [Read more...]
Samtec Enables Channel Confidence with Channelyzer™
As data rates continually increase in many applications, signal integrity simulation and analysis are required to optimize the high-speed serial channel. Several design considerations are driven by signal integrity concerns. Connector selection drives performance.PCB design decisions (placement, routing, material selection, trace lengths, impedance matching, etc.) can enhance or adversely affect the performance of the high-speed serial channel.Routing breakout from the connector is often … [Read more...]
