It's coming - embedded world 2023! Can you wait for it? No, it's not The Mandalorian Season 3 (Wasn't that awesome?!??!), but rather embedded world 2023. For embedded designers and engineers, embedded world 2023 generates almost as much anticipation as the latest Star Wars, Marvel or other sci-fi project. ew23 offers a global platform for the embedded community to network, learn, exhibit and gain insight into all things embedded. This year, ew23 takes place March 14-16, 2023, in … [Read more...]
A Student’s Perspective – Embedded Computing
Embedded computing - What is that? I ask myself that question because of a class I am taking at San Jose State University - Microprocessor-Based System Design. Embedded systems are everywhere, from your mobile devices, to drones, vehicles, and robots. However, in my course we focus on robotics ARM processors as ARM processors account for approximately 90% of all embedded 32-bit RISC processors. Some facts about ARM processors include: As of 2005, 98% of the more than one billion … [Read more...]
New ChalkTalk Features 56 Gbps PAM4 Interconnects for FPGA Applications
FPGAs, SoCs and other flexible, configurable and reprogrammable compute engines are redefining embedded computing architectures. While prevalent in Data Centers, ASIC Emulation, and High-Performance Computing, FPGAs are the beating electronic hearts of many emerging Transportation, Medical Imaging, Process Automation and Industrial Vision embedded computing applications. In many FPGA-based designs, the choice of a connector solution can be a crucial element in your system design. The … [Read more...]
Samtec and Mouser Electronic to Present PICMG COM-HPC® Webinar
Earlier this year, PICMG® announced the release of the new COM-HPC specification. COM-HPC (for “Computer on Module – High Performance Computing”) is an open standard for high performance computer modules targeting the embedded applications The development of COM-HPC exceeds the demand for high-speed performance in embedded computers. COM-HPC coexists with the COM Express® specification, but provides the scalability and enhanced performance for next-gen embedded system design. COM-HPC … [Read more...]
Samtec Technical Experts to Present at Embedded Tech Trends
Embedded design trends typically revolve around three main ideas: faster data rates, smaller form factors and cost-effective solutions. Those design trends drive the theme for the 2020 Embedded Tech Trends forum: The Business and Technology Forum for Critical and Intelligent Embedded Systems. Industry leaders from the media, C-suite and technology suppliers convene annually to share ideas on the latest embedded development trends. Samtec will be sponsoring ETT again in 2020. Secure … [Read more...]
Samtec Standards Experts Present at Embedded Tech Trends
FMC. FMC+. XMC. PC/104 . . . Does the list of Industry Standards ever stop? Like TLAs, probably not! What are Industry Standards? They are formal specifications that simplify differences in popular applications. The purpose is improved compatibility, performance, and efficiency across embedded systems How is this achieved? Building consensus across a diverse group of stakeholders. This requires constant research, development and pier review of the particular standard. One popular … [Read more...]
Samtec Unveils New Standards Home Page
In the Standards world, specifications are categorized to three ascending levels: Corporate, De Facto, and Industry Standard. Corporate Standards are achieved when design elements are adopted company-wide. De Facto Standards often grow out of a Corporate Standard to act as a solution in a common industry (like using micro-USB in Android phones). Industry Standards are formal specifications produced by a body of participants assembled to narrow variations on a precise application. The purpose … [Read more...]
