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. They are combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in sensor module development to meet the increasing demand for sensing technology in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has 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 precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be an ideal partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He emphasized that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 to provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating on creating new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also working on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
