Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensor Modules for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are collaborating to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This partnership merges Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, targeting the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These joint efforts aim to speed up the release of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications in the automotive industry.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size but still performs well. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, providing precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon’s power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By doing this, it eliminates the need for separate external current sensors and allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is in charge of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. 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 is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, along with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
