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-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a successful partnership.
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-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible through a combination of Infineon's advanced technology and Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also looking to use these solutions in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
