Integration levels

Our products can be delivered as bare and independent products, turnkey systems, or anything in-between.

Power ratings

Imperix products are well suited for the implementation of power converter prototypes ranging from 100W to 100kW.

Kits and bundles

Imperix offers several product configurations that have been carefully selected for typical teaching or research use.

Inter-operability

Imperix products are plug-and-play when used together, but can also be used with any other controller or power stage.

Accessories

Imperix provides several accessories that also contribute to facilitating the implementation of laboratory-scale converters.

Software examples

Imperix is currently building a complete knowledge base of control code and software examples, available free of use.

Power converter CONTROLLERS

The B-Box RCP is a high-performance controller dedicated to power converters. Specially engineered for rapid prototyping applications, it distinguishes by its hardware and software configurability. Simultaneously, the B-Box RCP also guarantees an easy use and programming.

B-BOX RCP

The B-Board PRO is the heart of the B-Box RCP controller. It is also available as a standalone product for embedded applications. The board feature a ZynQ-based dual-core ARM processor and a Kintex-grade FPGA, plus advanced communication capabilities and extensive I/Os.

B-BOARD PRO

Power modules

Imperix power modules are ready-to-use building blocks allowing to build up almost any 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.

Software solutions

Easy 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

DOCUMENTATION

CPP SDK

The C/C++ programming SDK provides everything engineers need to program the B-Box RCP or B-Board PRO in a straightforward manner from the imperix IDE. For advanced users and complex projects, C/C++ is a must, thanks to its superior flexibility and performance over the ACG SDK.

CPP SDK

ACG SDK

The Automated Code Generation (ACG) SDK allows the generation of code and the programming of B-Box RCP or B-Board PRO directly from Simulink or PLECS, which is achieved in only one click! This also enables realistic PC-based simulation the complete application before the actual programming.

ACG SDK
