Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon 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 help 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, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has 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 for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is a power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact in size.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are setting a new benchmark for simplified system integration. He emphasized 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 performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into the HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
