Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for the Electromobility Market
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together 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 and manufacturing sensor modules, they aim to tap into the growing market for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to market for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
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 for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration by simplifying the process. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's 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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that their current sensor ICs seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles with the help of Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
