An LCP flex based interconnect that significantly improves the interconnect density and supports data rates in the range of 10 to 16 Gbps is evaluated to enable future high bandwidth module based memory systems without requiring complex equalization techniques. A mating two-piece, lowprofile, high density and small insertion force connector is developed for interfacing the flex to a flip-chip package. The 216 pin connector can support 72 differential pairs in a 6 x 12 array.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
