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. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing and manufacturing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will help speed up the introduction of products like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive market.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. The module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making it possible to create very compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the current sensors in this new generation are revolutionizing system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He also mentioned that the current sensor ICs offered by Infineon, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide a seamless fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, offering the most 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.
