Abstract:This paper presents a board-to-board interconnect technique utilizing elastomeric connectors and parallel microstrip lines on a flexible foil cable with low dielectric loss (tanδ = 0.002). It is shown that a pad structure combined with an elastomeric connector can be codesigned such that a good signal integrity and thus a high data transmission rate is achieved. It is also shown that 2 Gbps data transmission rate can be achieved with a 490mm-long microstrip on the flexible cable, where crosstalk is taken into … Show more
