Preamble: Samtec recent moves constantly, Samtec has recently entered into a collaboration with Neoconix and II-VI and introduction of new products, following are the details.
Samtec and Neoconix signed Neoconix PCBeam technology licensing agreement, the two products will continue to rely on sources Samtec Z-Ray products.
At the same time, Samtec and worldwide transmission through optical devices leader, II-VI joint global electronic interconnect solutions manufacturer Samtec (US SHENTAI) introduced a new single-channel 56Gbps PAM4 demo, the demo uses a next-generation Samtec FireFly? onboard light engine technology. II-VI recently released high-speed Vcsel integrated in the FireFly system architecture.
The demonstration platform demonstrates low latency, high-performance optical engine board, single-channel transmission of 56 Gbps PAM4, FireFly Micro Flyover System? Copper and has an optical element may provide a direct bypass the PCB and ASIC / FPGA package The method, thereby improving the density and performance. FireFly program is compatible with the latest support 56G PAM4 a new generation of optical transceiver FPGA.
Arlon Martin Samtec optical, senior director of marketing, said: "High-performance, compact, non-protocol FireFly redefines optical connection in the field of video, aerospace, embedded computing, instrumentation, HPC and data center wide application, the product demo uses 56Gbps PAM4 VCSEL chip, II-VI in performance and reliability are ahead of the industry standard. "
summarize: SAMTEC is a US-based global electronic connector manufacturer. We are committed to providing a variety of high-speed, height and miniature connector scheme. II-VI are working closely with them to make more than 200G FireFly high-performance optical engine plate. And successfully leading 56Gbps PAM4 VCSEL array Samtec integrated into the transceiver.
