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-quality 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-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and smaller in size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module by Infineon used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this integration allows for more compact traction inverters to be developed.
According to Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, this new line of current sensors is raising the bar when it comes to easy system integration. The combination of Infineon's updated sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, small, 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 top-quality current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
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 high voltage battery management.
