Product Overview
This FPC breakout board is designed for devices that use a high speed HSTX or DSI flexible cable interface, such as Raspberry Pi 5 and RP2350 based boards. It allows access to high speed differential video signals using a standard 22 pin 0.5 mm pitch FPC cable, making it suitable for custom adapters, signal probing, or experimental display connections.
The board breaks out high speed differential pairs along with power, control, and auxiliary signals onto solder pads for flexible integration into custom hardware designs.

Design Notes
This breakout is intended for short distance and experimental use. High speed differential signals are sensitive to impedance mismatch, long wires, and breadboard connections. Care should be taken to keep traces and connections as short and clean as possible to reduce signal degradation.
Typical Applications
Custom display adapters
High speed signal testing and probing
Interface development for DSI or HSTX displays
Prototyping and educational use
