Design/cost benefits

• Minimization of trace length between high performance components
• Elimination of microvias on motherboard
• Reduction of layer count on motherboard
• Selective population on a common motherboard
• Isolation of high-performance components from motherboard
• Pre-tested modules for high-cost components
• As packages change, ET can redesign the module, to avoid requiring customers to requalify the motherboard
• ET can also incorporate an on-board voltage regulator to accomodate different chip voltages
