ABSTRACT:
In a microprocessor module assembly, voltage regulators are integrated into the module and adapted for use with a processor and support electronics likewise mounted on the module. The voltage regulators receive a fixed imput voltage from a motherboard interface and provide modified regulated output voltages to the processor and support electronics. In this manner, the processor module is readily upgradable such that future generations are compatible with a fixed motherboard interface without the need for upgrading voltage regulators on the motherboard. In a preferred embodiment, bulk decoupling capacitance is provided on the processor assembly to stabilize the DC output voltage of the voltage regulators.
