Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop Innovative High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have come together to create advanced current sensor modules for use in cars. Infineon will provide top-of-the-line current sensor ICs, while Swoboda will contribute their knowledge in developing and producing sensor modules. This partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. The collaboration will speed up the development of current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and smaller in size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with minimal error. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. He stated that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a successful partnership.
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. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 results in a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda and their expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating to create more current sensing solutions that can be used with various types of power devices. These solutions are also being designed for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
