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. The collaboration combines Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, targeting the growing market for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership aims to speed up the development and production of high-performance current measurement solutions for use in traction inverters, battery management systems, and other critical automotive applications.
One of the new 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 for precise sensing accuracy with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for separate external current sensors, it allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are leading in terms of easy system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
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. He also mentioned that the current sensor ICs from Infineon and Swoboda's expertise have allowed for the most compact solution in the HybridPack Drive G2 for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. These solutions will be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
