Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Time-to-Market for Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and producing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensor solutions in the hybrid and electric vehicle market. These innovative current measurement solutions will speed up the release of products like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive applications.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, 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 precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration removes the necessity for external current sensors, making it possible to create extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, 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 very effective.
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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
