224G Test Platform Provides Scalability, Cost Benefits, Pathway to 448G

224 Gbps PAM4 is crucial for supporting the growing demand for massive data transfer in applications like high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, 5G networks, and hyperscale data centers. Samtec presented several 224 G live product demonstrations at DesignCon 2025, including the one in this video. Samtec's Ralph Page walks us through the signal path and performance of this 224G test platform, which was presented with our friends at Cadence.   This 224G test configuration provides superior cost benefits, ease of use, and scalability for validating today's leading-edge silicon interface IP.
