Claim 42:
43. An apparatus comprising:
a substrate having a plurality of interface connections connected to at least one surface of the substrate and a large-scale semiconductor device mounted to a top surface of the substrate, the interface connections being adapted for electrical connection to a system board;
a switching power conversion circuit mounted to a bottom surface of the substrate, the switching power conversion circuit including at least one switch and an inductive component and being constructed and arranged to convert power from an input at an input voltage to an output at an output voltage for delivery to the large-scale semiconductor device;
wherein the switching power conversion circuit is mounted within a footprint of a selected one of the large-scale semiconductor device;
wherein the substrate comprises a plurality of power connections extending vertically through the substrate from the top surface to the bottom surface, the vertical conductors being arranged with alternating polarities within a footprint of the semiconductor device to conduct power from the switching power conversion circuit to the large-scale semiconductor device.
