Infineon and Swoboda Join Forces to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-performance 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 minimal error. Designed for easy integration with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module for electric vehicle traction inverters, this module eliminates the need for external current sensors and allows for more compact traction inverters.
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 is the Head of 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 their current sensor ICs, 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. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
