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-of-the-line sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience 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.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for precise sensing with minimal error. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding was a perfect collaboration.
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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, along with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
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.
