Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
a substrate having a plurality of interface connections connected to at least one surface of the substrate;
a large-scale semiconductor device mounted to a top surface of the substrate;
one or more switching power conversion circuits mounted to the top surface of the substrate, each 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 a ratio of input voltage to output voltage of each switching power conversion circuit is fixed, subject to a series resistance, and is at least 5;
wherein the one or more switching power conversion circuits are mounted laterally adjacent to one or more sides of the large-scale semiconductor device;
an additional switching power conversion circuit mounted on a bottom surface of the substrate, the additional 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 a ratio of input voltage to output voltage of the additional switching power conversion circuit is fixed, subject to a series resistance, and is at least 5;
wherein the additional switching power conversion circuit is mounted within a footprint of the large-scale semiconductor device.
