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 vehicles. This partnership combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge 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 speed up the production process for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while minimizing space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors have raised the bar for system integration. He stated that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a great fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
