A chip package assembly is provided that includes a substrate, at least one integrated circuit (IC) die and a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). In one example, the IC die of the chip package assembly is disposed on a first surface of the substrate. The PMIC die has a first surface having outputs electrically coupled to the second surface of the IC die. The PMIC die also has a second surface facing away from the first surface. The second surface of the PMIC die has inputs that are electrically coupled to the first surface of the substrate.
