Power delivery apparatus and method

摘要

The present invention provides a unitary integrated circuit and power supply module. In one embodiment, this module includes a bridging printed circuit board, an integrated circuit assembly, and a power conversion assembly. The integrated circuit assembly is operably mounted to the bridging printed circuit board. The power conversion assembly is also operably mounted to the bridging printed circuit board. Core power is provided to the integrated circuit assembly through the bridging printed circuit board from the power conversion assembly. In this way, detrimental parasitics are reduced through the elimination of a connector for coupling a power conversion module to an integrated circuit module.
