    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a voltage regular (VR) formed from dies stacked on a package base layer. The VR can include a first part on a first die and a second part on a second die, where the different parts are selected based on characteristics of the respective die such as their voltage domains or technologies. In a capacitor-based VR, an input capacitor and switches subject to a relatively high input voltage can be provided in the first die, while a flying capacitor, output capacitor and switches subject to a relatively low output voltage can be provided in the second die. In an inductor-based VR, an inductor and one or more switches subject to a relatively high input voltage can be provided in the first die, while an output capacitor subject to a relatively low output voltage can be provided in the second die.

    Abstract: A microelectronic assembly is provided comprising a first integrated circuit (IC) die having an electrical load circuit, a second IC die having a portion of a voltage regulator (VR), and a third IC die comprising inductors of the VR. The third IC die is between the first IC die and the second IC die, and the VR receives power at a first voltage and provides power at a second voltage to the electrical load circuit, the second voltage being lower than the first voltage. In various embodiments, the inductors in the third IC die comprise magnetic thin films. The third IC die may be a passive die without any active elements in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the microelectronic assembly further comprises a package substrate having conductive pathways, and the second IC die is between the third IC die and the package substrate.
