Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate on High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating 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 experience in developing and producing sensor modules, they aim to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will bring high-performance current measurement solutions to the market quicker, benefiting applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products available 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 seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the current sensor into the power module, the need for separate external sensors is eliminated, resulting in more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors of this new generation are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be an ideal combination.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performance, 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 that can be used with a variety of power devices. These solutions are intended for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management, among others.
