Samtec introduces VITA 57.4-compliant FMC+ loopback cards

Nov. 9, 2017

New Albany, IN. Samtec has announced the release of two new VITA 57.4-compliant FMC+ loopback cards, which provide FPGA designers easy-to-use loopback options for testing low-speed and high-speed multigigabit transceivers on any FPGA development board or FPGA carrier card.

Samtec’s two new FMC+ loopback cards—the VITA 57.4 FMC+ HSPC and the VITA 57.4 FMC+ HSPC/HSPCe—each come in VITA 57.4-compliant form factors. The new FMC+ loopback cards feature optimized SI performance via Samtec Final Inch break-out region (BOR) PCB trace routing for the VITA 57.4 FMC+ connectors included in the cards.

The VITA 57.4 FMC+ HSPC includes one HSPC VITA 57.4 FMC+ connector (Samtec P/N ASP-184330-01). It supports 24 high-speed multigigabit transeceivers operating at data rates up to 28 Gb/s per channel.

The VITA 57.4 FMC+ HSPC/HSPCe includes one HSPC VITA 57.4 FMC+ connector (Samtec P/N ASP-184330-01) and HSPCe VITA 57.4 FMC+ connector (Samtec P/N ASP-186900-01). It supports up to 32 high-speed multigigabit transeceivers operating at data rates up to 28 Gb/s per channel.

“Samtec’s new FMC+ loopback cards make FPGA evaluation and development much easier,” said Matt Burns, product marketing manager at Samtec Inc. “Samtec’s tested and verified VITA 57.4-compliant solutions offer peace-of-mind and ease-of-use via readily available reference designs and technical documentation.”
