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 skills 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 development of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important uses in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a smaller size but maintains high performance with a current sensor module. 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 the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. He highlighted the successful combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for different power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
