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. This partnership involves using Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs and Swoboda's knowledge in developing sensor modules to cater to the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. These collaborative efforts aim to speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive sector.
One of the new products being introduced is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. It utilizes 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 integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's automotive power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for separate external current sensors, this integration allows for the creation of the smallest traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. The collaboration between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be highly successful.
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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new 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.
