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-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will help speed up the release of high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems for hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the products mentioned is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully encapsulated and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed 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 the creation of more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a successful 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. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, along with Swoboda's expertise, have enabled the development of a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles that seamlessly fits into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
