Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's expertise in sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for various applications in electric vehicles, including traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. Utilizing the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, it offers precise sensing with an error margin 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. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of the smallest traction inverters available.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are revolutionizing 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, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's knowledge in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more options for current sensing in various power devices. They are also focusing on applications like inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
