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-of-the-line 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, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the development of high-performance current measurement solutions for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive components.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size but still performs well. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for additional external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact than others on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful collaboration.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a strong demand in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda and their expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. They are also looking to apply these solutions in areas such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
