Distributed Power Management
First Claim
1. A system for providing power to a circuit block, comprising:
- a power management unit (PMU) configured on a first substrate, comprising;
a first regulator configured to receive an input voltage and output a first regulated voltage based on the received input voltage;
an integrated circuit (IC) configured on a second substrate, comprising;
the circuit block; and
a second regulator configured to receive the first regulated voltage and output a second regulated voltage;
wherein the second regulated voltage provides power to the circuit block.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for effective power management distribution are provided. In an embodiment, a system for providing power to a circuit block comprises a power management unit (PMU) configured on a first substrate and an integrated circuit (IC) configured on a second substrate. The PMU includes a first regulator configured to step down an input voltage and output a first regulated voltage. The IC includes the circuit block and a second regulator configured to receive the first regulated voltage and output a second regulated voltage. The second power regulated voltage provides power to the circuit block. The first regulator is more efficient than the second regulator.
