Samtec Features Latest 32 GT/s Interconnect Solutions at PCI-SIG® Developers Conference Asia-Pacific Tour 2019

New Albany, IN: Samtec Inc., a privately held $822 MM global manufacturer of a broad line of electronic interconnect solutions, will showcase and demonstrate their latest high-performance interconnect and technologies at the PCI-SIG® Developers Conference Asia-Pacific Tour 2019.

Samtec high-speed technologies for Silicon-to-Silicon optimization will be on display, including new high-speed, high-bandwidth optical, board-to-board and cable-to-board interconnects. 56 Gbps PAM4 and 32 GT/s product demonstrations and technical sessions will also be highlighted.

Demonstrations:

  • Scalable 32 GT/s Silicon Test Platform:
    Demonstration of a configurable, next-generation GPU-based system combining cable mesh backplane (AcceleRate® Slim Body Cable Assemblies) and tradition two-connector backplane (next-generation Edge Rate® High-Speed Edge Card Connector) topologies.
  • Direct Connect Technology:
    The demonstration platform showcases low latency, high performance, on-board optical engines transmitting at 56 Gbps PAM4 per channel. The Samtec FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ copper and optical options offer a direct connection into the ASIC/FPGA package, bypassing the PCB for improved density and performance. The latest FireFly™ solutions are compatible with new generation FPGAs that support 56G PAM4 transceivers.

Technical Sessions (Taipei Location Only):

2:30 PM Tuesday, October 29, 2019 – Kevin Burt, Sr. Product Manager

  • Enable PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0 Specification System Design with Ethernet Architectures:
    As PCI Express specification data rates increase to 32 GT/s, system SI becomes critical. As other interfaces (Ethernet, InfiniBand, etc.) achieve higher data rates, opportunities exist to leverage industry-wide techniques that optimize power, thermal efficiency and cost-effectiveness across the system. Samtec will explore options enabling PCIe system architects to achieve similar results.

The demonstrations can be seen in the Samtec booth at PCI-SIG Developers Conference Asia-Pacific Tour 2019. The first location is the Westin Tokyo on October 23, 2019. The second location is the Taipei Marriott Hotel on October 28-29, 2019.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
