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 vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor chips with Swoboda's knowledge in sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the hybrid and electric vehicle market. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with a total error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of the most compact traction inverters available.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding was a perfect fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a strong demand in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, offer a seamless fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
