Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon 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 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 development and production of high-performance current measurement solutions for various automotive applications, including traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which 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 precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module from Infineon used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this product allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. He highlighted 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, mentioned that there is a strong need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options that can be used with various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
