Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Electromobility with High-Performance Current Sensor Modules
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in sensor module development, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, specifically for hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive sector.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which 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 of less than 2 percent. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in the creation of the smallest traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He also highlighted that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon Technologies, 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 collaborating on creating new current sensing solutions for various power devices. These solutions will also be suitable for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
