We have been working with Matt and Samantec for the past 5 years. Samtec is a billion dollar privately-held manufacturer with a wide range of electronic interconnect products that are critical in high-speed and high-reliability systems.
Matt has been with Samtec for more than 10 very important year developing go-to-market strategies… Read More
For markets such as data center, high-performance computing, networking and AI accelerators the battle cry is often “copper is dead”. The tremendous demands for performance and power efficiency often lead to this conclusion. As is the case with many technology topics, things are not always the way they seem. It turns out a lot … Read More
According to a recent Samtec whitepaper, in high-data-rate (HDR) architectures, where signals traverse tens to hundreds of gigabits per second, “cable management” isn’t a housekeeping chore, it’s a first-order design variable. The mechanical path a cable takes directly influences channel loss, crosstalk, reliability,

According to a recent whitepaper by Samtec, Channel Operating Margin (COM) didn’t start as an algorithm; it started as a truce. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, interconnect designers and SerDes architects were speaking past each other. The former optimized insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk against frequency-domain… Read More
If you’ve spent a lot of time in the chip or EDA business, “design” typically means chip design. These days it means heterogeneous multi-chip design. If you’ve spent time developing end products, “design” has a much broader meaning. Chips, subsystems, chassis and product packaging are in focus. This is just a short list if you consider… Read More
It is well-known that AI is upending conventional wisdom for system design. Workload-specific processor configurations are growing at an exponential rate. Along with this is an exponential growth in data bandwidth needs, creating an urgency for 1.6T Ethernet. A recent SemiWiki webinar dove into these issues. Synopsys and … Read More
There were many announcements and significant demonstrations of new technology at the recent DesignCon. The show celebrated its 30th anniversary this year and it has grown quite a bit. As in past years Samtec had a commanding presence at the show. There will be more about that in a moment, but first I want to focus on a substantial … Read More
My good friend Matthew Burns develops go-to-market strategies for Samtec’s Silicon-to-Silicon solutions. Over the course of 25 years, he has been a leader in design, applications engineering, technical sales and marketing in the telecommunications, medical and electronic components industries. Matt holds a B.S. in Electrical… Read More
AI is exploding everywhere. We’ve all seen the evidence. The same thing is happening with AI conferences. The conference I will discuss here began in 2018 as the AI Hardware Summit. The initial venue was the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Like most things AI, this conference has grown substantially in a relatively… Read More
As clock speeds go up, voltages go down and data volumes explode the need for fast, reliable and low latency data channels becomes critical in all kinds of applications. Balancing the requirements of low power and high performance requires the mastery of many skills. At the top of many lists is the need for superior signal integrity,… Read More
