Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Sensing Solutions
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 skills 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 development of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications in the industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is designed to seamlessly work with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration. He noted that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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 mentioned that their current sensor ICs, along with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also working on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
