Imperix power modules & RedLink® Firecomms transceivers
Thanks to Firecomms products, our customers are definitely able to develop wide-bandgap inverters as they would play with LEGO blocks CORK, Ireland (PRWEB) May 14, 2021
Thanks to the high quality and performance of Firecomms products, Imperix is able to reinforce its leading position on the market of prototyping solutions for wide bandgap power converters.
Imperix has grown a multi-disciplinary product portfolio on inverter modules and high-performance controllers. Such modularity brings many challenges at managing the galvanic isolation throughout the setup while complying with the various sources of EMI-induced perturbations.
Firecomms’ long-term cooperation with Imperix fostered the implementation of the high-speed version Redlink® transceivers within Imperix’s new Silicon-carbide power modules range. The high-speed, low Pulse Width Distortion (PWD), robust EMI performance, and low propagation delay skew of the 50 MBd RedLink® transceivers provide simple, reliable, and galvanically isolated transmission of switching and fault signals while maintaining the time resolution provided by the Imperix B-Box RCP power electronics controller.
Thanks to the simplicity and modularity provided by Imperix products supported by Firecomms technologies, the development of Silicon-carbide power inverters and drives is within reach of every electrical engineer.
“We’re glad to see that our industry-proven optical communication technologies thanks to Imperix products, can accommodate and accelerate the R&D of modern converters”, says Michael O’Gorman, Head of Product Development at Firecomms.
Simon Delalay, Managing Director at Imperix adds, “Thanks to Firecomms products, our customers are definitely able to develop wide-bandgap inverters as they would play with LEGO blocks”.
