CPES welcomes Crane Aerospace and Electronics to the Power Management Consortium (PMC)
Crane Aerospace and Electronics has joined the CPES PMC to begin working synergistically with CPES and 13 other PMC members on developing precompetitive technologies in the areas of power management for distributed power system architectures, for applications such as microprocessors, laptops, desktops, servers, and telecom equipment.

| 14 Power Management Consortium (PMC) members work closely with CPES to address the common challenges of power distribution and power management across the processor-based systems |
About the Power Management Consortium
CPES PMC is an outgrowth of the VRM mini-consortium initiated in 1997. The team's research is led by Prof. Fred C. Lee and Prof. Ming Xu. Since its inception, researchers at CPES have generated 50 invention disclosures and have been awarded 15 patents, with 11 patents pending.
To ensure continual improvement in power efficiency, thermal management, voltage regulation, reliability, power density and cost, the PMC team is revisiting the currently employed power architectures that have evolved over time. They are investigating alternative power system architectures, control methods, high-frequency and ultra highfrequency power conversion and topologies, packaging and thermal management, and are working on addressing the severe challenges in power delivery and power management imposed by the aggressive roadmaps for the future generations of microprocessors and chipsets.
