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 sensor module development skills, they aim to provide innovative solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will help speed up the introduction of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the products mentioned is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size but still performs well. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed 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 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 there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 allows for a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used for a variety of power devices. These solutions will also be applicable for inverter DC link systems and high voltage battery management, among other potential uses.
