Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensor modules for use in automotive applications, specifically for hybrid and electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and industrializing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These collaborative efforts will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the products being discussed is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. This module is built on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for high precision sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for separate external current sensors, making it possible to create the most compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Swoboda's Head of Business Development, stated that the new generation of current sensors is leading the way in simplified system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, the Head of Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 provides the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to the combination of Infineon's top-notch 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.
