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 advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This partnership combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and producing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These innovative current measurement solutions will help speed up the production of traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive components.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors in this new generation are revolutionizing system integration. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly compatible and effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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. The current sensor ICs from Infineon and expertise from Swoboda allow for a seamless integration 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 for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
