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 solutions in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to the market for 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 smaller in size but still performs well. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is made to easily work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By integrating the sensor directly, there is no need for separate external sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a strong need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, 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 Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. These solutions are also being designed for applications like inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
