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. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing and manufacturing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will speed up the introduction of products like traction inverters and battery management systems for the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size but maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for separate external current sensors and allows for more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the current sensors in this new generation are setting higher standards for system integration. He also noted that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be an ideal partnership.
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. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into their HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration between Infineon and Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
