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 sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This partnership will expedite 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 in other important automotive areas.
One of the products 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 below 2 percent. This module 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, it allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise proved to be a great fit.
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. By incorporating Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's expertise, the HybridPack Drive G2 from Infineon provides the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
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.
