Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: A Game-Changer for Automotive Applications
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 provide efficient solutions for the growing market of sensing technology in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is compact yet high performing. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Swoboda's Head of Business Development, stated that the current sensors in this new generation are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a great fit.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a strong need in the market 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 allows for a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the expertise of Swoboda.
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.
