WE ARE!... I'm sure you know how the chant goes. My alma mater, Penn State Harrisburg, and my current company Samtec have a long history of technical collaboration. The PSU Harrisburg School of Science, Engineering and Technology has been a leader in STEM education - in particular, signal integrity and power integrity. Samtec continues to expand our technical capabilities, as there is an insatiable need for engineering talent. What are some if the details of the Samtec/PSU Harrisburg … [Read more...]
Samtec Launches New SI/PI Capabilities and Resource Landing Page
Once upon a time . . . I really don't like starting a blog out that way, but in this case, it applies. Bear with me. Like most undergrad Electrical Engineering students, I took "Introduction to Electromagnetics" my junior year. I thought it would straight forward due to previous exposure in Physics. Boy, was I wrong! No matter how hard I tried, I made no sense of some dude named Maxwell and upside-down triangles. I dropped the class in the fall semester and took it in the summer with … [Read more...]
Samtec SI/PI Capabilities Simplify Design and Accelerate Time-To-Market
Signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) concepts confuse many seasoned engineers. Yet, they are both essential to modern, high-performance system architectures and system design. Designing for High-Speed "It's all about the signal channel!" That's it. That's the short and simple secret to SI. As an electrical engineer, PCB design or SI specialist, routing a signal from point A (say the transmitter) to point B (say a receiver) with as little attenuation as possible is the design … [Read more...]
