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-notch 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. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and smaller in size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error margin of less than 2 percent. The 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 requirement for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He expressed that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a great fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, offer the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, especially when used in Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. These solutions will also be suitable for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
