摘要:
A system and method are disclosed in which flex cables are affixed to PCBs, for providing high-speed signaling paths between ICs disposed upon the PCBs. The flex cables are fixably attached to the PCBs so as to substantially mimic their structural orientation. Where the configuration includes more than one PCB, the flex cables include multiple portions which are temporarily separable from one another and from the die, using flex-to-flex and flex-to-package connectors, allowing field maintenance of the configuration. By routing the high-speed signals between ICs onto the flex cable, single-layer PCBs can be used for non-critical and power delivery signals, at substantial cost savings. By disposing the flex cables onto the PCB rather than allowing the cables to float freely, the configuration is thermally managed as if the signals were on the PCB and cable routing problems are avoided.
