Imperix
Power electronics
imperix is a provider of rapid control prototyping solutions
Our products are designed to accelerate the implementation of laboratory-scale power converters and facilitate the derivation of high-quality experimental results.
We also offer various levels of integration services, ranging from the delivery of plug-and-play hardware and software to that of fully customized systems.
Power converter CONTROLLERS
The B-Box RCP is a fully-programmable DSP+FPGA controller dedicated to power electronic converters. Specially engineered for rapid control prototyping applications (RCP), it distinguishes from other real-time control targets by its hardware and software configurability. Simultaneously, the B-Box RCP also guarantees a very easy use and programming.
The B-Board PRO is the heart of the RCP controller. It is also available as a standalone product for embedded applications. The board features a Xilinx Zynq-based dual-core ARM processor and a Kintex-grade FPGA, plus advanced communication capabilities and extensive I/Os.
Power converter modules
Imperix power modules are ready-to-use building blocks that allow building up almost any power converter topology. They exist in various power ratings and internal structures. Each module features:
- Power semiconductors and gate drivers
- Voltage and current sensors, with local protections
- Cooling
Modules can be integrated within rack-mountable chassis and enclosures. Additional passive filtering elements are also available.

Control software development
Easy controller programming
Imperix provides two Software Development Kits (SDK), dedicated to either graphical or C/C++ programming. Engineers are thus free to chose between the automated generation of code – from Simulink or PLECS – or the superior flexibility and performance of hard coding:
- CPP SDK – support for C/C++ development
- ACG SDK – support for Simulink and PLECS
C/C++ code development
The C/C++ programming SDK provides everything engineers need to program the B-Box RCP or B-Board PRO controllers in a straightforward manner. For advanced users and complex projects, C/C++ is a must, thanks to its superior flexibility and performance over the ACG SDK.
Graphical control design
The Automated Code Generation (ACG) SDK allows generating code and programming real-time controllers directly from Simulink or PLECS, which is achieved in only one click! This also enables realistic simulation of the complete application before the actual programming.
Fields of application
Imperix provides tailored solutions for all sorts of rapid control prototyping activities in power electronics. Our products enable engineers to work faster by saving time on their own development efforts.
TEACHING
Thanks to their modular nature, imperix products are ideally suited for teaching applications. They indeed possess all the features to be safely put in the hands of students.
Imperix products offer a very flexible way to conduct laboratories or students projects at the graduate or undergraduate level.
