DesignCon 2018 Parting Thoughts – How real is 112 Gbps PAM4?
DesignCon 2018 has passed. For those involved from the high-speed communications and semiconductor communities, everyone needs time to catch their breath a bit before planning for the rest of 2018. Why? DesignCon always offers exposure to the latest state-of-the-art design methodologies, applications, technologies, and unparalleled networking opportunities. One question was on the minds of many: How real is 112 Gbps PAM4? The number of demos and presentation at DesignCon prove the … [Read more...]
FireFly™ Mid-Board Optical Engines Gain Momentum in 2017
2017 brings increased attention to mid-board optical engines. Samtec's solution in this space - FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ - continues to win over new customers in new applications. FireFly™ and other Samtec related optical products are some of the fastest growing product lines at Samtec. As both portfolios continue to expand, this opens additional applications for Samtec's FireFly™ and optical solutions. More specifically, ruggedized and extended temperature FireFly™ applications are … [Read more...]
14 Gbps Optical Link In FMC VITA 57.1 Form Factor For FPGA Applications (OFC 2016)
Kevin Burt, of the Samtec Optical Group, discusses one of two demonstrations at OFC 2016. This is a demo of a FireFly™ 14 Gbps optical link in a FMC VITA 57.1 form factor for FPGA applications, for the high performance computing, rugged military, and industrial markets, to name a few. This demo is an optical interconnection between two FPGAs, with a Xilinx Development Card and two FMCs (FPGA mezzanine cards), one from TechWay and the other from Crossfield Technology. This is 8 lanes of 14 … [Read more...]
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 aggregating GBs of data. High-speed test and measurement equipment emulate signal traffic found in next generation routers, switches and … [Read more...]
Bulls Eye® Test Point Solutions Ease Transceiver Characterization
Semiconductor manufacturers are always looking for the best interconnect solution to characterize the high-speed transceivers found on their FPGAs, ASICs and ASSPs. Typically, PCB-mount SMA connectors have been used to breakout the differential transmit and receive signals found in modern transceivers. Below is a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA SP623 Characterization Kit which features a number of PCB-mount SMA connectors. This approach worked for decades. Transceiver counts per IC … [Read more...]
