Abstract
A three-dimensional integrated power distribution and regulation apparatus for providing regulated power to a plurality of chips mounted on a module. The apparatus has a busbar mounted on the module, this busbar receiving high voltage power as an input. A plurality of power regulators are mounted on the busbar and are electrically coupled to this busbar. The power regulators are point-of-load regulators that receive high voltage power as an input and produce regulated power to the busbar. The busbar is electrically coupled to the chips and provides the chips with the regulated power. Heat and losses are reduced since the power regulators are mounted on the module, close to the chips themselves.
