Meeting of the Orange County, CA chapter of the IPC Designers Council Date: Tuesday, June 29th, 2004 Time: 11:30 am - 1:30 pm Where: Mentor Graphics Irvine-Spectrum office Topic: Circuit design solutions using Flexible and Rigid-flex interconnects Everything you always wanted to know about the use of flexible circuitry, but were afraid to ask! A panel of experts will share their experiences on the use of flexible and rigid-flex circuitry to enhance your PCB design knowledge beyond your "rigid" thinking. Presented by: Shawn Arnold - PCB Designer - High-Speed-Solutions & Design Inc. Tom Dougherty, David Nelson & Ralph Florez - Flex-Link Products, Inc. Expand your toolbox of circuit design solutions by learning more about being "flexible" in your approach to interconnecting multiple circuit boards. With today's high-speed design requirements and impedance matching challenges, the use of flex and rigid-flex technologies allow the designer to eliminate connectors and create a three dimensional solution to your circuit packaging. The team from Flex-Link Products will discuss various solutions of creative interconnection through the use of Polyimide-based flexible circuits. Mr. Arnold will share the new process of HVRFlex, a low-cost alternative method of rigid-flex using only FR-4 materials. The panel will answer your specific questions and update us on the technical advances in the use of these enabling technologies. Reserve a space on your calendar for Tuesday, June 29th from 11:30 to 1:30 for this educational meeting being held at Mentor Graphics' office in Irvine.
