Abstract

A method and embedded bus bar structure are provided for implementing power distribution in an electronic system. A stiffener includes an embedded power bus bar structure for distributing power. The embedded power bus bar structure has a predefined pattern within a selected area of the stiffener. The selected area is separated from at least one predefined area. A printed circuit board is mounted to the stiffener and electrically connected to the embedded power bus bar structure. The embedded power bus bar structure can include multiple spaced apart power bus bars, enabling the power distribution of multiple voltage levels. The predefined pattern of the embedded power bus bar structure within the selected area of the stiffener is separated from each predefined site for a Land Grid Array (LGA).
