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. By leveraging Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These collaborative efforts will speed up the production process for high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC 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 for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of the smallest traction inverters available.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors in this new generation are raising the bar 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 a successful partnership.
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. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's expertise, the HybridPack Drive G2 provides a seamless and compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
