“Another blog about FPGA Development Kits? Again? Come on Samtec! Put something else up on the blog!” Umm . . . not today. Sorry! That quote may, or may not, be a comment Samtec bloggers have heard before. In any case, readers of the Samtec blog know FPGAs are a constant topic, Why? FPGA-based solutions […]
New FPGA Development Platforms Feature Samtec High-Speed Solutions
FPGA system designers have no shortage of FPGA options for their next-gen end market solution. Xilinx continues to expand their UltraScale+ families. Intel PSG/Altera will ramp Arria 10 and Stratix 10 solutions well in to 2018. New FPGA products require a new generation of FPGA development platforms. Thankfully, both the Xilinx and Intel PSG/Altera design […]

Come Fly With Me
Traveling to a far-away destination usually involves a choice: do I drive or do I fly? Driving entails a slower pace and traffic while flying allows a direct connection to your final destination for around the same price. This simple analogy illustrates choices electronics designers face in getting data from point A to point B. […]
BBC R+D Leverages FMC for Audio Codec Replacement
Our friends at Xilinx recently blogged about how the BBC R+D department replaced a 32-year old small rack-mount audio codec with low-cost off-the-shelf solutions customized to fit the BBC’s needs. According to Justin Mitchell, principal engineer at BBC R+D, this project occurred since the original audio codec could no longer be supported due to component […]
Chip-to-Chip at 25 Gbps+ . . . Over Fiber?
As another year dawns, the demand for data remains insatiable. The number crunching of Big Data requires larger and faster supercomputers to analyze immeasurable data sets. New server architectures leverage hardware accelerators – in FPGAs or via expansion cards – to offload system processing. The growth of the IoT gives rise to data acquisition systems […]
