Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Automotive Current Sensing with High-Performance Sensor Modules for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for use in electric vehicles. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules. Their goal is to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will result in faster time-to-market for high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the sensor module, the need for external current sensors is eliminated, allowing for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new generation of current sensors is raising the bar for easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a highly effective partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 results in a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible through the collaboration with Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
