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 sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the production of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 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 integration allows for the creation of the smallest traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise proved to be a successful collaboration.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking 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 Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and managing high voltage batteries.
