Abstract:

A power distribution system and method may include a first power domain having a first plurality of power rails, a second power domain having a second plurality of power rails, where the first power domain is electrically independent of the second power domain, and a plurality of modules coupled to the first power domain and the second power domain, where each of the plurality of modules is coupled to a unique set of one of the first plurality of power rails and one of the second plurality of power rails. The system may also include a plurality of mated pairs, where each of the plurality of modules is in only one of the plurality of mated pairs, where each of the plurality of mated pairs is coupled to four separate of the first and second plurality of power rails, and where each of the plurality of mated pairs is coupled to a unique set of the first plurality of power rails and the second plurality of power rails.
