Design and testing of a high speed module based memory system

An LCP flex based interconnect and a mating area array connector are used to increase the bandwidth of the module based memory systems. Simulations show that data rates in the range of 6.4 Gbps to 16.0 Gbps are possible depending on the memory system configuration. Tested prototype memory systems confirmed simulation predicted data rates of 16 Gbps and 12.8 Gbps for flex interconnect lengths of 6" and 12", respectively.
