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-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the hybrid and electric vehicle market. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications in the industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the current sensor into the power module, there is no longer a need for separate external sensors, resulting in compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He believes that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding is the perfect fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a strong need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, small, 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, particularly when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating on creating new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
