Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate 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-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in sensor module development, they aim to cater to the growing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the development process for high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a smaller size but maintains high performance with its encapsulated current sensor module. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing accuracy below 2 percent error. The module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters, eliminating the need for external current sensors and allowing for more compact inverters in the industry.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that the market is seeking current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to the collaboration with Swoboda's expertise.
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 link and high voltage battery management.
