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-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These collaborative efforts will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. Utilizing the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, this module offers precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this integration allows for the creation of the most compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors in this new generation are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a great 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. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
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 link and high voltage battery management.
