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. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing technology in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the production of 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 smaller size but maintains high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it helps create the most compact traction inverters available.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the current sensors of this new generation are revolutionizing system integration with their simplicity. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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 performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions can seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This integration is made possible by using Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. These solutions are also being designed for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
