Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces 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 increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular uses like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive applications.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this allows for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors in this new generation are raising the bar for system integration, making it simpler. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, especially when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also looking at applications like inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
