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. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in sensor module development, they aim to meet the rising demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This partnership will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular 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 current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size but maintains high 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, a power module by Infineon used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By integrating the current sensor into the power module, external sensors are no longer needed, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who leads Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration with their simplicity. The collaboration between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly successful.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is the Head of 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. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, combined with Swoboda's expertise, offer a seamless fit 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 power devices. They are also looking to use these solutions in applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
