IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
PEB SiC 8024 VS PEB 8032
Thanks to state-of-the-art Silicon Carbide MOSFETs, the PEB SiC modules enable fast switching frequencies, while guaranteeing low losses.
These modules allow to build fast switching converters with superior harmonic performance, more compact passives and thus increased power density.
In addition, the embedded current sensor features a high measurement bandwidth, allowing to precisely sense the output currents, allowing the use of high-speed control techniques.
PEB SiC 8024 VS PEB 8032
Reduced switching losses
Silicon Carbide MOSFETS offer up to 10x lower switching losses when compared to Silicon, even with fast IGBTs such as on the previous PEB8032 modules.
Faster power modules
At the module level, PEB8024 are specified as 4x faster than the previous generation, with both superior switching speed and efficiency !
NEW PROTECTION MECHANISMS
The PEB SiC module allows to implement ambitious converters without the fear to destroy anything, even if the control algorithm is not yet mature. It embeds convenient protection mechanisms, such as over-current/voltage and desaturation detection, that block the module in case of hazardous behavior and thus ensure that its capabilities are never exceeded. Combined with the B-Box inherent protections, the PEB SiC modules are the ultimate solution for safe and efficient converter prototyping.
What’s more, the protection thresholds and the behavior under fault are user modifiable to fit the needs of any application.
EMBEDDED FEATURES
PEB SiC modules are truly ready-to-use building blocks, featuring
- SiC MOSFET half-bridge
- DC bus capacitors
- Current and voltage sensors
- Integrated gate drivers
- Onboard logic and protection
(desat, voltage, current, temperature, PSU) - Speed regulated cooling fan (120 W TDP)
This way, when building converters, the only missing elements are the inductive components, whose sizing always remains tightly linked to the application.
KEY BENEFITS
Easy-to-use
The modules contain everything you need to start working right away (sensors, logic, cooling,…). Combined with the B-Box RCP controller, they form a truly plug-and-play solution.
Versatile
With these elementary building blocks, you will be able to build any converter topology in the blink of an eye. What’s more, you can reuse the same modules among multiple projects to save time and money.
Powerful
The PEB series consists of semi-industrial modules with excellent switching and conduction characteristics. This makes them a perfect choice for demanding laboratory applications or pilot systems where power is key.
Robust
The PEB modules are designed with large margins to keep you safe. With over-sized semi-conductors, they are the trustworthy and loyal companions for any ambitious and early experiment.

INTEGRATION OPTIONS
Flexible rack-mountable chassis (3U)
For those who appreciate the corresponding ease, imperix can provide pre-assembled chassis with power supplies and various other features. This way, modules remain easily accessible and can be easily put in (or taken out) of the chassis, hence facilitating topology alterations.
Fully-integrated enclosure (4U)
PEB modules can also be placed within a 4U enclosure that guarantees that no dangerous voltage can ever be reached, except using 4mm laboratory safety plugs. In 4U enclosures, imperix implements the same sideboard controller as for the 3U chassis, which here also comes with an LCD display.
