INTERPOSER INCLUDING VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A device that includes an electronic device referred to as an integrated circuit interposer (110, 310, 810, 910) is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes a voltage regulator module (140, 340, 600, 700, 940). The interposer is attached to an electronic device (120, 850, 950), such as another integrated circuit, and facilitates control and distribution of power to the electronic device. The integrated circuit interposer (110, 210, 810, 910) can also conduct signaling between the attached electronic device (120, 850, 950) and another electronic device. The voltage regulator module (140, 340, 600, 700, 940) at the integrated circuit interposer can be configured to provide a voltage reference signal to the attached electronic device (120, 850, 950). Generation of the voltage reference signal by the integrated circuit interposer (110, 310, 810, 910) can be enabled or disabled and the value of the voltage reference signal can be adjusted, depending on operating requirements of the electronic device (120, 850, 950).
