Molex Showcases NeoPress™ High-Speed Mezzanine System at DesignCon

LISLE, IL – January 20, 2016Molex, LLCplans to highlight itsNeoPress™ High-Speed Mezzanine System at DesignCon, to be held January 20-21 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Molex will showcase the press-fit/compliant-pin mezzanine solution and other advanced products at booth 817.

“The modular system — with tunable differential pairs, low stack heights, and compliant-pin terminations with a staggered interface configuration — offers data rates up to 28 Gbps,” said Nadine Dytko-Madsen, new product development manager, Molex. “That makes it ideal for new, space-constrained telecom, automation and medical applications that demand higher speeds and smaller form factors.” A mirrored interface allows compact stack height and simplified PCB routing.

“PCBs sometimes need to be reused or reworked,” Dytko-Madsen added. “Traditional SMT connectors are permanently affixed, making it virtually impossible to reuse PCBs, and when an SMT termination fails, attempting to rework it creates a short. An alternative, press-fit mezzanine connectors, would allow reuse, but they typically offer lower signal integrity.

The NeoPress System solves these issues by providing compliant-pin termination while minimizing near-end and far-end crosstalk, matching the signal integrity of NeoScale™ SMT connectors. Moreover, the compliant pin allows designers to rework the board and maximize system utility without sacrificing signal integrity.

A patent-pending modular triad wafer design includes high-speed differential pairs that can be tuned to 85-to-100-Ohm impedances, creating a flexible, customizable system. System options include four triad configurations, high-speed single-ended traces and low-speed single-ended lines and power contacts. These options allow PCB designers to conserve PCB real estate by supporting low- and high-speed signals and power requirements with one compact connector.

The system is ideal for high-density telecommunications and networking devices, such as hubs, servers, NAS towers and rack-mount servers. It can also be used in industrial automation and medical applications.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
