Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications 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 for precise sensing with less than 2 percent error. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the sensor module into the power module, the need for external current sensors is eliminated, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who is in charge of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar in terms of easy system integration. He stated that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has been highly successful.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing 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 the HybridPack Drive G2 provides a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the expertise of Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. These solutions will also be used for inverter DC link and high voltage battery management, along with other applications.
