Infineon and Swoboda Drive Forward with High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules for the automotive industry. They aim to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will speed up the introduction of products like traction inverters and battery management systems in the market.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing accuracy with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module from Infineon used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By integrating the sensor directly into the power module, there is no longer a need for separate external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, commented that the new generation of current sensors is leading the way for easier system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly successful.
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 performing, compact, and easy to integrate. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's expertise, they have created a seamless fit into the HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
