Systems and methods for routing cables in an electronic device

摘要

Systems and methods for routing cables in an electronic device are provided. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a touch sensor having a number of traces, a display component, and a mechanical button, each of which may be coupled to a circuit board via a single flexible circuit cable. This may save valuable space within the electronic device.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a touch sensor substrate having first and second opposing surfaces and comprising a plurality of traces, wherein a first set and a second set of the plurality of traces are formed on the first surface and wherein a third set of the plurality of traces is formed on the second surface; an input component; and a cable comprising:
a first bond pad on the first surface of the touch sensor substrate electrically coupled to the first set of the plurality of traces;a second bond pad on the first surface of the touch sensor substrate electrically coupled to the second set of the plurality of traces;a third bond pad on the second surface of the touch sensor substrate electrically coupled to the third set of the plurality of traces;a fourth bond pad electrically coupled to the input component; anda connector electrically coupled to each one of the first bond pad, the second bond pad, the third bond pad, and the fourth bond pad.
