HIGH POWER VOLTAGE REGULATOR MODULE

Abstract:

A Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) includes a first voltage rail circuit board oriented in a first plane having formed therein a first plurality of conductors and configured to produce a first rail voltage, a second voltage rail circuit board oriented in a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane having formed therein a second plurality of conductors and configured to produce a second rail voltage. The VRM also includes a first capacitor circuit board oriented in a third plane that is (substantially perpendicular to the first plane and a second capacitor circuit board oriented in a fourth plane that is substantially parallel to the third plane. The VRM includes a plurality of conductors intercoupling the first voltage rail circuit board, the first capacitor circuit board, the second voltage rail circuit board, and the second capacitor circuit board.
