Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Time-to-Market for Automotive Applications
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicle technology. 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 vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications in the automotive industry.
One of the new products offered is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this module allows for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the current sensors in this new generation are making system integration easier than ever before. He explained that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is the Head of Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into their HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the expertise of both Infineon and Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
