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-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing sensor modules, they aim to cater to the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. Their collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to achieve precise 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 more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise proved to be a successful 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. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. These solutions will also be used for inverter DC link and high voltage battery management, along with other applications.
