    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: Voltage dividing circuitry is provided for use in a voltage converter for converting at least one input Direct Current, DC voltage to a plurality of output DC voltages. The voltage dividing circuitry including a voltage input port to receive an input DC voltage and an inductor having an input-side switch node and an output-side switch node. The output side switch node is connectable to one of a plurality of voltage output ports to supply a converted value of the input DC voltage as an output DC voltage. The flying capacitor interface has a plurality of switching elements and at least one flying capacitor, the flying capacitor interface to divide the input DC voltage to provide a predetermined fixed ratio of the input DC voltage at the input-side switch node of the inductor. A voltage converter and a power management integrated circuit having the voltage dividing circuitry are also provided.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to techniques to integrate a capacitive voltage regulator in an integrated circuit (IC) package. The voltage regulator may provide a power supply to one or more load domains in the IC package. The transistors of the voltage regulator may be included on the same die as one or more of the load domains, another die, and/or an interposer of the IC package. The capacitors may be included in the same die as the transistors, in the interposer, in a package layer (e.g., package core), and/or in the same die as one or more of the load domains. Accordingly, the voltage regulator can be integrated close to the relevant load domains, delivering power with short current paths and thereby providing reduced input impedance, output impedance, and associated losses compared with prior techniques. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
