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, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will speed up the development of current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with less than 2 percent error. This module is tailored for easy integration with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of more compact traction inverters.
According to Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, these new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration by making it simpler. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a great fit.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
