Summer is here. The kids are out of school. Families are taking well-deserved holidays and vacations or even enjoying local staycations. Even though it's summer, design engineers still need to move their new projects along. Additionally, designers need to keep their skills sharp and learn about the latest tools. Some upcoming webinars will no doubt help the engineering community stay updated on FPGA SoMs, expansion buses and associated interconnects, and the latest on PCI Express® … [Read more...]
New High-Speed Cable Guide
Who doesn’t love a care package? Open a box from someone you know and find a surprise inside.

PCI Express Solutions & Effective Communication
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 instead of people - you'll still need to buy that book. This standard creates a connection for high bandwidth communication between a PCI Express® device … [Read more...]
Samtec and Synopsys Talk PCIe 6.0® Solutions for HPC Applications
PCI Express® (PCIe) is the backbone interface for connecting high-speed components in modern computing. Desktop PC motherboards connect to graphics cards, RAID cards, Wi-Fi cards or SSD add-on cards via any number of PCIe expansion slots. Current desktop, laptop, server and gaming computing platforms leverage PCIe 4.0 (8 GT/s) infrastructure. Looking forward, chipsets solutions from Intel, AMD, Nvidia and others feature native PCIe 5.0 (16 GT/s) support. Also, PCIe 5.0 capable motherboards, … [Read more...]
Samtec Launches New ChalkTalk Webcasts
"I need more . . ." That phrase can end in a number of ways. For Trekkies, James T. Kirk would tell Montgomery Scott "power". Gordon Gecko and other Wall Streeters would say "money" of "greed". Pete "Maverick" Mitchell would say "speed". What about engineers? They are likely to say "knowledge", "tools" or "product info". At least, that's what Samtec blogs think engineers would say. In that vein, Samtec and our partners (We love you, Mouser!) have released a number of new Chalk Talk … [Read more...]
PLDA Establishes PCIe 5.0 Link Via Samtec PCIE-G5 Connector
PCI Express® is taking over the world! Or maybe it just seems that way. PCIe® - born as PCI® - started as a simple CPU-to-I/O controller interconnect more than 20 years ago. Today, it is one of three interfaces (Ethernet and DDRx are the others) common in almost all computing platforms. Current and future system design are focused on leveraging the 32 GT/s lane performance of PCIe 5.0. Many development solutions - from IP, silicon and eval kits - are coming to the market. PLDA PCIe … [Read more...]
