Center for Design of Analog-Digital Integrated Circuits - NSF I/UCRC Phase III

模拟-数字集成电路设计中心（CDADIC）I/UCRC全中心提案（第三阶段）华盛顿州立大学 CDADIC正在为该中心提出第三阶段（第三个五年期）的支持，包括对中心人员、评估和研究的支持。 拟建中心将由华盛顿州立大学（WSU）牵头，并在华盛顿大学（UW）和俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）设立站点。 CDADIC成立于1989年，目前是一个自我维持的中心，继续在IUCRC模式下运作。 该中心的研究重点是模拟和混合信号电路和系统的设计和开发。 虽然CDADIC在过去二十年中在这一领域取得了许多进展，但对更先进的电路设计技术的需求继续增长，同时需要解决国内该领域劳动力萎缩的关键国家问题。 在未来的几年里，该中心将继续为该行业提供新技术和训练有素的员工。CDADIC已经为半导体行业和社会做出了重大贡献，并将继续这样做。 该中心通过新技术开发和转让为经济增长做出了贡献，多年来新技术已转移到工业领域。 行业伙伴提供了一种机制，将中心的产出纳入商业产品。 在商业应用中更广泛地使用为国防部开发的设备是中心业务实践的一个常规组成部分。 自成立以来，CDADIC已经为大约500名学生提供了研究和教育机会，近90%的毕业生进入了行业。 CDADIC的教育目标与NSF的目标非常一致，特别是该中心致力于研究和教育的整合，以培养训练有素的模拟/混合信号设计师，供工业界就业。 通过REU奖等各种机制招募代表性不足的学生，最近的相关研究资金导致了国内学生队伍发展倡议。

Full Center Proposal (Phase III) for an I/UCRC for the Center for Design of Analog-Digital Integrated Circuits (CDADIC)0968877 Washington State University; John Ringo CDADIC is proposing a Phase III support (third five-year period) for the Center, including support for central personnel, evaluation and research. The lead of the proposed Center will be Washington State University (WSU) with site locations at the University of Washington (UW) and Oregon State University (OSU). CDADIC was established in 1989, and is currently a self-sustaining Center that continues to operate under the IUCRC model. The Center's research focus is on the design and development of analog and mixed-signal circuits and systems. While CDADIC has made numerous advances in this area over the past two decades, the demand for more advanced circuit design technology continues to grow as does the need to address the critical national concern of a shrinking domestic workforce in this field. In the coming years, the Center will continue to provide new technology and highly trained employees for this industry.CDADIC has made significant contributions and will continue to do so to the semiconductor industry and society. The Center has contributed to economic growth through new technology development and transfer, and new technologies have been transferred to industry over the years. Industry partners provide a mechanism for the incorporation of Center output into commercial products. The wider utilization of devices developed for DoD in commercial applications is a routine component of the Center business practices. Since its inception, CDADIC has provided research and educational opportunities to approximately 500 students, with nearly 90% of its graduates going into industry. CDADIC's educational objectives are well aligned with NSF goals, specifically the Center commitment to the integration of research and education in order to produce highly trained analog/mixed-signal designers for employment in industry. Under-represented students are recruited through a variety of mechanisms such as REU awards, and recent related research funding resulted in a domestic student workforce development initiative.
