Capabilities

Established in 2010 as a privately-funded power electronics company, Amantys focusses on digital control through software and FPGAs of power electronic converters and systems. We have a histroy of designing gate drives for railway traction and other high-power systems using IGBTs in the range 1700-6500V and currents from 500A.

We also work on fibre-optic communications which are required for modular-multi-level converters (MMC). To test these we have design low power demonstrators so that software engineers can test at safe voltages.

Headquartered in Cambridge UK, Amantys has a team of engineers experienced in all aspects of analogue and digital control, and power electronics. We design our own PCBs and we are building a team of embedded software engineers.

Facilities

Double Pulse Test

• In-house test facility at Amantys headquarters in Cambridge
• Rigorous testing of gate drives and IGBT modules for safe operating area conditions
• Full characterisation of individual IGBT manufacturers’ modules for safe operating frequency against gate resistor and temperature 

Back-to-back Testing of High Power Converters

• High voltage power supplies (up to 5000V)
• Cooling system
• Safety interlocks and operator isolation through fibre-optic communication
