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. This collaboration involves combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules. The focus is on meeting the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These innovative current measurement solutions will speed up the production process for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to achieve precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise was a perfect fit.
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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
