Abstract
A flexible circuit assembly that integrates a first fiber optic die, for example a transmitter die, and a second fiber optic die, for example a receiver die, on a single flexible circuit. Alignment holes and the multiple die are accurately placed on a single flexible circuit. The precise placement of the alignment holes and the fiber optic die facilitate micron alignment accuracy to a mechanical transfer (MT) connector. Fiber optic die circuitry is electrically connected to the first fiber optic die and second fiber optic die and connected to the flexible circuit.
