Abstract:
1. An assembly, providing a regulated voltage to a processor package, comprising: a first substrate having opposed first and second sides; a processor having a base, the processor including at least one input power terminal supported by the processor base terminal, said processor being supported by the first substrate such that said processor base faces said first substrate first side; a voltage regulator module, the voltage regulator module including an opening that receives said processor therein; a second substrate, also including opposed first and second sides, the second substrate second side including a plurality of conductive leads for mating with an opposing connector; and, means for carrying substantially-regulated electrical power from said voltage regulator module to said processor, the power carrying means including at least one conductive lead extending from said voltage regulator module into contact with at least one conductive lead supported by said second substrate and said second substrate conductive lead extends into contact with said processor power input terminal, the second substrate conductive lead extending through said first substrate into contact with said processor power input terminal.
