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-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This partnership will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to achieve precise sensing with an error rate of less than 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 the creation of the smallest traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has resulted in an ideal partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads 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 integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda's expertise.
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.
