It’s the unoffical start of summer 2025. Students are getting out of school. Families are planning vacations and holidays. Full-time workers are looking for a break from their day-to-day jobs. Some are looking for new experiences. What does that have to do with AI/ML system topologies, you may wonder? Well, there is a lot of…
Are you headed to DesignCon 2024? If yes, be sure to stop by the Samtec Booth (#939) to see demonstrations of products that address interconnect needs all the way up to 224 Gbps. New and established Samtec products on display will include those used in front-panel, mid-board, and backplane applications, including our new backplane solutions,…
VITA 66 has been around for some years now. What goes into this standard continues to expand. VITA 66 is an evolution to increase your options inside the existing VITA 46 (VPX) market space. Samtec is pleased to announce the addition of our VITA 66 Landing Page. We are designed in VPX applications around the…
Communication. There are hundreds of books about the various types, styles and strategies. You can earn degrees in the study of it. It’s a life skill everyone must learn, and there is a constant pursuit for ways to more effectively communicate. The PCI Express® standard can help with effective communication, but just for electronic devices…
As an undergraduate EE major, I have noticed many of my fellow students focus purely on the technical side of engineering. However, my goal is to understand how business principles influence engineering decisions. My role as a Technical Marketing Engineering (TME) Co-op at Samtec allows me to do just that. Technical Marketing provides an opportunity…
Next-gen, high-performance Test and Measurement platforms support faster data rates than current solutions. Prevailing devices communicate over copper interfaces in standard form factors and traditional bench instrument applications. At increased data rates, signal integrity concerns over copper cable assemblies and connectors limit the reach and interoperability of systems. The new Optical Data Interface (ODI) is…
For many around the world today, forty-plus years of pop culture reaches a climactic end. For those living under a rock, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in theaters globally. Star Wars geeks of all ages are thinking, “What’s happening with Palpatine and Kylo? Will they both survive? Who are Rey’s parents? Where is…
Fellow Samtec blogger David Pike recently asked the question, “Is Copper Dead?” He eloquently answers the question that copper and optical solutions still have long runways of growth. One group driving interest in optics is the Consortium for On-Board Optics (COBO). They are focused on developing standardized specifications for on-board or embedded optics. Samtec has…
We talk about FireFly™ a lot around here, and why not? With the industry’s leading miniature footprint enabling maximum signal density and SI over longer distances, we assume you want to hear about it. FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ provides high-performance versatility by taking the data connection “off board” for higher data rates up to 28…
Small footprints. Less weight. Signal integrity over longer distances. Scalability. Upgradeability. These and other factors are driving the adoption of optical engines in embedded computing. Annapolis Micro Systems, a leading FPGA board and systems supplier, and Samtec have collaborated to integrate the Samtec FireFly™ Optical System in multiple COTS embedded computing platforms. FireFly enables maximum signal density…
