Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Driving Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand in the automotive industry for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive sector.
One of the newest products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for electric vehicle traction inverters created by Infineon. This integration eliminates the necessity for external current sensors and allows for the creation of the most compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. He mentioned that Infineon's advanced sensor technology combined with Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a great combination.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that the market is seeking current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible through the use of Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and 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.
