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 skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
The Swoboda CSM510HP2 is the first product mentioned, 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 high precision sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact compared to others on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon’s sensor technology and Swoboda’s expertise in injection molding proved to be a great fit.
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-of-the-line current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also looking into applications such as inverter DC link and managing high voltage batteries.
