Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate on 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 and bringing sensor modules to market, they aim to meet the rising demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and compact without sacrificing performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the latest current sensors are leading the way in easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise worked exceptionally well together.
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. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles. This integration is made possible by the expertise of both Infineon and Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. These solutions will also be used for inverter DC link and high voltage battery management, among other applications.
