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 vehicle technology. By combining Infineon's top-quality sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in sensor module development, they aim to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to market, particularly for traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
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 precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, commented that the latest generation of current sensors is raising the bar for system integration. He highlighted the successful combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding.
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 a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This integration is made possible by utilizing Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and the expertise of Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new ways to sense current for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
