Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, the partnership aims 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 in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with less than 2 percent total error. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that these new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. He highlighted that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise proved 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 integration of Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by their top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's expertise.
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.
