High performance microprocessor power delivery solution using flex connections

An electronic device, comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB);
• a power bus coupled to the PCB;
• a data bus coupled to the PCB;
• a computer processor package positioned on an upper surface of the PCB and coupled to the power bus;
• a computer processor positioned on the computer processor package and coupled to the power bus and to the data bus;
• a voltage regulator;
• and
• an elongate flex circuit positioned between the voltage regulator and the computer processor, wherein one end of the elongate flex circuit is electrically coupled to the voltage regulator, wherein a portion of the elongate flex circuit is positioned in a space above the PCB, and wherein another portion of the elongate flex circuit is electrically coupled to the power bus.

A method of powering a computer processor, the method comprising:

• outputting a first high frequency current from a voltage regulator to an elongate flex circuit;
• routing the first high frequency current over the elongate flex circuit to a computer processor package;
• and
• routing the first high frequency current from the computer processor package to a computer processor positioned thereon.
