connect the power contacts located on the ic socket 138 which are in turn connected to the ic 140 alternatively power supply contacts 142 of the ic 140 may receive the energy from the power converter contacts 118 compressed against the power supply contacts 142 the transfer of energy from the capacitors of the capacitor bank 346 to the ic 140 maintains a relatively constant voltage supply at the ic 140 and the microprocessor within the ic 140 during the fast current switch the output voltage to the ic 140 changes less than 5 therefore the capacitor banks 346 prevent excessive change of the input voltage from the power supply to the ic 140 inductance and resistance are minimized due in part to the location of the power converter 110 underneath the ic 140 because the power converter 110 and the microprocessor of the ic 140 are connected via short traces the problems associated with inductance and resistance due to long traces are minimized the close proximity of the power converter 110 and the capacitor banks 346 to the ic 140 allows high current switching with low inductance and resistance the close proximity of the ic 140 and the microprocessor within the ic 140 to the power converter 110 and to the capacitors of the capacitor bank 346 shortens the distance of the traces among the ic 140 the power converter 110 and the capacitor bank 346 shorter traces yield lower inductance and resistance additionally placing the capacitor banks 346.
