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 sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with less than 2 percent error. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact and efficient.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that these new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration. The combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 to provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
