Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, 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 hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and smaller in size but still performs well. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that these new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
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. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, particularly when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used for a variety of power devices. These solutions are also aimed at applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
