Infineon and Swoboda Join Forces to Develop Cutting-Edge Current Sensors for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These collaborative efforts will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the necessity for external current sensors, resulting in the creation of more compact traction inverters compared to others on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for easy system integration. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven 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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by utilizing Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
