Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Automotive Innovation
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicle technology. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skill in developing sensor modules, they are targeting the growing 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 products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for 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 traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a successful collaboration.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a strong demand in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
