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 combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These collaborative solutions will help speed up the production of traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive applications.
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 to provide accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is specifically made to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the current sensor into the power module, there is no longer a need for separate external sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that this new series of current sensors is leading the way in making system integration easier. He mentioned that Infineon's advanced sensor technology paired with Swoboda's expertise in injection molding resulted in a perfect combination for success.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is the Head of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that the current sensor ICs from Infineon and the expertise of Swoboda have allowed for a seamless integration into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
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.
