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 experience in developing and producing sensor modules, 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 automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to allow precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making it possible to create the smallest traction inverters available on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are leading in terms of easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding was a great success.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a demand in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly fit into the HybridPack Drive G2 from Infineon, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
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.
