SHUNT TRANSIENT VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN A PROCESSOR PACKAGE, METHOD OF MAKING SAME, AND METHOD OF USING SAME

摘要

A shunt voltage regulator for a processor is disposed on the processor package. The shunt voltage regulator responds to AC transients. One embodiment includes a DC power converter voltage regulator that is disposed off the processor package, and that is optimized for DC power conversion. Another embodiment includes a method of improving fabrication yield for a packaged processor.
