Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create top-of-the-line current sensors for electric vehicles. This collaboration combines Infineon's advanced current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing sensor modules, aiming to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will speed up the release of products like traction inverters and battery management systems for the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC and offers precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this module allows for the creation of more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Business Development Head at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are leading in terms of making system integration easier. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a successful partnership.
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. He emphasized that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, especially when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
