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 chips with Swoboda's skill 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 process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to market for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
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. He also mentioned that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide a seamless fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, offering a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
