Altera
The Altera® HSMC defines electrical and mechanical properties of a high
speed mezzanine card interface. The HSMC connectors defined by the
specification are based on the 0.5mm pitch Q Strip® QSH/QTH series high
speed board-to-board connectors from Samtec. The host board connector is
Samtec part number ASP-122953-01 (a modified QSH series). The mezzanine
card connector is Samtec part number ASP-122952-01 (a modified QTH
series). These ASP connectors are partitioned into three “banks.” Bank 1
in each respective connector has every third signal pin removed to allow
for multi-gigahertz differential signaling. Bank 2 and Bank 3 in each
respective connector have the entire rows of signal pins filled for
various single-ended interface signals.

ARM
ARM RealView Hardware Platforms are suitable for architecture and CPU
evaluation, hardware and software design, and ASIC emulation. They are
designed to provide value to customers in a number of ways. Versatile is
ARM’s latest generation family of boards. They are based on high
density Q Strip® connectors from Samtec which allow several AMBA
AHB or AXI buses to be routed between baseboard and daughter cards, also
called "tiles". The Versatile Family supports systems based on the
ARM7TDMI, ARM926EJ-S, ARM1136JF-S, ARM1156T2F-S, ARM1176JZF-S and ARM11
MPCore and will be the reference architecture for support of new
processors.

Xilinx
XILINX® has selected two of Samtec's VITA 57 SEARAY™ Series connectors as
the High Speed interface for VIRTEX™- 6 and SPARTAN™- 6 Development
Boards. These are refered to as "FMC" Connectors (short for FPGA Mezzanine
Card). These (socket) connectors and a variety of mating (header)
connectors can be purchased directly from Samtec by any customer for use
in their own proprietary hardware design.
