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-notch 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 collaboration will speed up the availability 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 is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with less than a 2 percent total error. This module is made to easily 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 more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the current sensors of this new generation are raising the bar for system integration by simplifying the process. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a perfect fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a strong need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He also mentioned that their current sensor ICs, combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together on creating new current sensing solutions that can be used for various types of power devices. These solutions will also be suitable for applications like inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
