In summary, the value proposition of Lynx^™ QD for designers and engineers is built around the standard configurations (coplanar and right-angle) and the flexibility of the product family module sizes. This scalable interconnect solution can be seen as the “problem solver”, the viable solution for critical design challenges that must be addressed including support for low and high speed data rates, packaging the maximum number of differential signals into the smallest PCB footprint, and efficient routing options that reduce routing layers and complexity. These benefits, paired with Amphenol custom cable assembly/integration provides a unique and differentiating solution for many designers. Lynx QD helps the design team address key questions like the ones above. While speed requirements are sure to evolve over time, Lynx QD can currently address data rates up to 56 Gb/s, PAM4. That said, many Mezzanine applications do not require PCIe Gen 5. Lynx QD can address legacy applications as well. With a consistent footprint, the product can be configured in coplanar and right-angle form factors without making changes at the PCB level. Whether the application calls for an optimized differential pair solution or an open pin field, Lynx QD can solve either design approach.
