Integrated circuits and systems-on-a-chip in modern electronic devices have transformed virtually every aspect of daily life. In these devices, the need for efficient power delivery and management has never been more critical across applications from low to high power: smartphones to data centers, battery-powered components to renewable-energy-powered grids, and from stationary systems to robots and aircraft. The challenge is to satisfy increasingly demanding requirements for efficiency, size, reliability, and cost - all simultaneously. The Power Management Integration Center (PMIC) addresses these challenges. The University of California San Diego (UCSD) joins PMIC as a new site in addition to the original site at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to significantly expand the overall capability for research and training students, adding new research capabilities to the Center. The UCSD site will work with PMIC to bring together leading academic and industry researchers to develop more efficient systems and higher-density integrated power electronics with the potential to transform transportation, communication, healthcare, and energy generation and consumption. The Center will integrate fundamental research with education in integrated power electronics and energy efficiency by attracting, training and mentoring a broad range of students, including students from underrepresented backgrounds to become leaders in this STEM area. UCSD's focus on power integrated circuits (ICs) complements University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's emphasis on passive components research and opens opportunities for collaborations combining UCSD ICs and Dartmouth passive components. In addition, the UCSD researchers bring unique expertise in high-voltage ICs, power management at very low power levels for applications such as Internet-of-Things devices, wide-bandgap technologies, and special techniques for power management in radiofrequency (RF) applications. UCSD also brings access to faculty expertise in related areas such as materials, devices, and systems. The UCSD site's research focus will be on three thrusts: (I) integrated power delivery and management circuits, including integrated converter topologies, architectures, circuits, and 3-D packaging for high-performance computing and battery management; (II) power management for next-generation communications systems with the focus on next-generation (5G/6G) transmitters and power amplifier; and (III) wide-bandgap materials, devices, and high-voltage circuits for power delivery and management. The contributions from the UCSD site can provide fundamental additions to help PMIC achieve its goals in enabling higher efficiency, smaller size, and reduced cost for a wide range of electronic devices.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

现代电子设备中的集成电路和片上系统几乎改变了日常生活的方方面面。在这些设备中，从低功率到高功率，对高效电力输送和管理的需求从未像现在这样重要：从智能手机到数据中心，从电池供电组件到可再生能源供电电网，从固定系统到机器人和飞机。挑战在于同时满足对效率、尺寸、可靠性和成本日益苛刻的要求。电源管理集成中心（PMIC）解决了这些挑战。加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）加入PMIC，作为马萨诸塞大学达特茅斯分校（University of Massachusetts Dartmouth）原有基地之外的一个新基地，大大扩展了该中心的研究和培训学生的整体能力，为该中心增加了新的研究能力。加州大学圣地亚哥分校将与PMIC合作，将领先的学术和行业研究人员聚集在一起，开发更高效的系统和更高密度的集成电力电子产品，这些系统和电子产品有可能改变交通、通信、医疗保健和能源生产和消费。该中心将通过吸引、培训和指导广泛的学生，包括来自代表性不足背景的学生，成为这一STEM领域的领导者，将基础研究与综合电力电子和能源效率的教育结合起来。UCSD对功率集成电路（ic）的关注补充了马萨诸塞大学达特茅斯分校对无源元件研究的重视，并为UCSD ic和达特茅斯分校无源元件的合作提供了机会。此外，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究人员在高压集成电路、物联网设备、宽带隙技术和射频（RF）应用中电源管理的特殊技术等极低功率水平下的电源管理方面带来了独特的专业知识。加州大学圣地亚哥分校还提供了在材料、设备和系统等相关领域的专业知识。加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究重点将集中在三个方面：(1)集成电源传输和管理电路，包括集成转换器拓扑、架构、电路和用于高性能计算和电池管理的3-D封装；（II）下一代通信系统的电源管理，重点是下一代（5G/6G）发射机和功率放大器；（三）用于电力输送和管理的宽带隙材料、器件和高压电路。来自UCSD站点的贡献可以提供基本的补充，以帮助PMIC实现其目标，为各种电子设备提供更高的效率，更小的尺寸和更低的成本。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
