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 sensor modules for use in electric vehicles. This collaboration brings together Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and Swoboda's experience in developing and producing sensor modules to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. The partnership aims to 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 new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is compact yet high-performing. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing accuracy with a total error 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 available on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by their top-notch current sensor ICs and the expertise of Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing options for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
