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 collaboration combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will help speed up the introduction of products for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products 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 accurate sensing with a minimal error margin. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a successful partnership.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The HybridPack Drive G2 from Infineon offers a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by their top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's knowledge in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. These solutions are also being developed for applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
