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 combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing and producing sensor modules for the automotive industry. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. By working together, they can speed up the development and launch of high-performance current measurement solutions for common automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module is built with the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for precise sensing with minimal error. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module by Infineon for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. He highlighted that the collaboration between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has resulted in an ideal combination.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles with the help of Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and managing high voltage batteries.
