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 vehicle technology. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and producing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These new high-performance current measurement solutions will speed up the development process for key automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the requirement for external current sensors, this module allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are pioneering in terms of making system integration easier. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be highly compatible.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads 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 integrate with 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.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications like inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
