Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensor Modules for Electromobility: Accelerating Time-to-Market for Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the rising demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the current sensors of this new generation are setting new benchmarks in terms of easy system integration. He stated that the combination of Infineon's latest sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a great fit.
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 performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide a seamless fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, offering the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
