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 experience in sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These collaborative solutions will help speed up the launch of products like traction inverters and battery management systems for electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive applications.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and smaller in size while still maintaining high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. By integrating the current sensor within this module, there is no need for additional external sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who is in charge of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a strong need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that the current sensor ICs from Infineon, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide a seamless fit into the HybridPack Drive G2, offering the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
