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-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module is built on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, offering precise sensing with minimal error. It is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By integrating the sensor module, the need for external current sensors is eliminated, resulting in smaller and more efficient traction inverters for electric vehicles.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed enthusiasm for the simplified system integration provided by the new generation of current sensors. He noted that the partnership between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise was highly successful.
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 current sensor ICs into HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to the expertise of Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating to create more current sensing solutions that can be used for various power devices. These solutions will also be suitable for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
