Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's specialization in sensor module development, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These high-performance current measurement solutions will help speed up the production of traction inverters, battery management systems, and other essential automotive components for hybrid and electric vehicles.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, who leads Business Development at Swoboda, commented that the current sensors of this new generation 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 great success.
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 mentioned that their current sensor ICs, combined with Swoboda's expertise, offer the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
