Samtec Innovates a New Approach for High Frequency Analog Signal Propagation

We are all familiar with the tradeoffs between copper and fiber for digital signal transmission. The short version is that fiber is flexible, like copper but supports higher data rates with less loss over longer distances. The bad news is that converting digital signals to light and back again isn’t a trivial process. These kinds… Read More

Semiconductor Recovery 2023

August’s WSTS Blue Book showed Q2-2023 sales rebounding strongly, up 4.2 percent vs. Q1, heralding the end of the downturn and welcome news for the beleaguered chip industry.

The really good news, however, was that the downturn bottomed one quarter earlier than previously anticipated. This pull-forward only added a modest US$11… Read More
