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 experience in developing sensor modules, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive technologies.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a smaller size but maintains high performance with a current sensor module that is fully enclosed. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error margin of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars, eliminating the need for additional external current sensors and allowing for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors of this new generation are raising the bar for system integration by making it simpler. He highlighted that the combination of Infineon's latest sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a perfect fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking 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 results in a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles. This integration is made possible by the expertise of Swoboda and the high quality of Infineon's current sensor ICs.
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.
