Infineon and Swoboda Join Forces to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. The collaboration involves using Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's skill in developing sensor modules to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. This partnership aims to speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications in the industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with a total error rate below 2 percent. This module is specially made to work seamlessly with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for separate external current sensors, this integration allows for the creation of the most compact traction inverters available.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be very successful.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, small in size, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used with various types of power devices. These solutions are also being designed for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
