Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Sensing Solutions
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicle technology. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will speed up the development and release of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products being introduced is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully encapsulated and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. It is built on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is a power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By integrating the current sensor module into the power module, the need for separate external sensors is eliminated, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the current sensors of this new generation are raising the bar when it comes to making system integration easier. He also stated that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a perfect 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, combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into the HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
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 link and high voltage battery management.
