Abstract
A transceiver assembly includes a frame section, a rigid circuit board, a flex circuit, and a controller chip. The frame section includes an optoelectronic device containing a set of photoactive components, a signal processing chip for providing drive signals to the set of photoactive components, and a flex circuit layer. The rigid circuit board includes a first rigid printed circuit board layer, a second rigid printed circuit board layer, and a flex circuit layer. The flex circuit also forms the flex circuit layers in the rigid circuit board and the frame section. The flex circuit is adapted for electrically coupling the first and second printed circuit board layers in the rigid circuit board to the frame section. The controller chip is mounted on a surface of the first rigid printed circuit board layer.
