Webinar Overview:
High Speed? High frequency? And flexibility? Now you can have it all.
Why should flexibility limit speed? Why must high frequency require glass-reinforced rigidity? Why should designers and fabricators have to choose between two essentials?
The circuit designs of the future move beyond these limitations to embrace a new possibility to provide flexibility without signal loss, and strength without sluggishness. DuPont™ Pyralux® TK flexible circuit material creates this new reality, merging flexibility with high speed.
As a new flex laminate, Pyralux® TK is designed for flexible applications and high speed. It is a composite of two proven products: DuPont™ Teflon® fluoropolymer film and DuPont™ Kapton® polyimide film. Teflon® film supplies a lower DK, enabling thinner dielectrics, as well as wider lines for the same impedance target. In addition, Teflon® works as an adhesive to reduce Df for higher speed and less signal loss. Using Kapton® for the core provides the mechanical and flexible circuit properties needed for flex circuit applications.
Discussion will include:
Convergence of flex and high speed
Microstrip and stripline-controlled impedance constructions
Impedance measurements
Signal loss analysis
Digital signal analysis
