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. They are combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules to meet the demand for sensing solutions in the rapidly growing hybrid and electric vehicle market. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. 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 seamlessly 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 to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, commented that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration by being more user-friendly. The collaboration between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a 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 their HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to the expertise of both Infineon and Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also working on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
