Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Driving Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicle technology. The partnership combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing and manufacturing sensor modules. This collaboration aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. By working together, they can speed up the process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to market for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with less than 2 percent error. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact compared to others on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be an ideal partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads 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 Infineon's current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, specifically when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for a variety of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
