Flyover® Architecture

Solutions for routing high-speed signals at increasing bandwidths, such as Samtec’s Flyover® Architecture, require high level design and engineering support, including expertise in signal integrity optimization, routing and thermal management strategies, and materials selection. Samtec Teraspeed Consulting engineers have the experience and expertise to help address and support these challenges.

As bandwidth requirements rapidly increase, routing signals through lossy PCBs, vias and other components has become one of the most complex challenges designers face. Next generation solutions such as Samtec’s Flyover® Architecture are made possible with the expertise of Samtec’s signal integrity engineers, who provide high level design assistance and engineering support for high-performance system challenges, including:

  • Improving signal integrity and reach at increasing data rates
  • Increasing system architecture flexibility
  • Reducing power consumption
  • Reducing PCB costs by enabling lower layer counts and less expensive materials
  • Improving thermal dissipation through power reduction and IC placement flexibility
  • Maximizing density
  • Simplifying board layouts
  • PCB routing / layout strategies
