Abstract :
Intel® 4th generation Core™ microprocessors are powered by high frequency integrated switching voltage regulators. The inductors required to implement these regulators were constructed using the routing layers of conventional organic flip chip packaging. This paper provides an overview of the simulation and measurement of these embedded inductors including representative results from production packages.
