Driving Innovation in Electromobility: Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate on High-Performance Current Sensor Modules
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor chips with Swoboda's knowledge in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These collaborative efforts will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the products being discussed is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon’s power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this integration allows for the creation of the smallest traction inverters available on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be an ideal 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-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by utilizing Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also aiming to use these solutions in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management systems.
