Will 2026a be the beginning of a new era? The release of MATLAB/Simulink 2026a will certainly mark a key milestone for many electrical engineers, not because of the release of major new features, but because of the discontinuation of the Specialized Power Systems (SPS) blockset. As anticipated by rumors, since 2026a, MathWorks has completely deprecated…
Key differentiating factors of imperix versus competing RCP/HIL solutions At imperix, we are often asked how our offering differs from other solutions for rapid control prototyping (RCP). Below are seven reasons our customers consistently choose our products, highlighting key characteristics and why they matter. 1. Specialization Within the Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) landscape, we are…
The need for high PWM resolution Modern power electronics make extensive use of digital control systems. Compared with their analog counterparts, these offer unprecedented flexibility and computational power. However, a fundamental bottleneck exists at the interface between the discrete-time digital world and the continuous-time analog one: quantization. While digital control now frequently operates with 32-bit…
Following the increasing use of wide bandgap devices, this article addresses five specifications that are essential to digital controllers in order to fully take benefit from the newly achievable level of performance.
