Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Electromobility with High-Performance Current Sensor Modules
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensor modules for use in the automotive industry. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing and producing sensor modules, specifically targeting the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. By working together, they are able to speed up the development process for high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration by making it simpler. He also mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a great fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
