Infineon and Swoboda Partner 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 vehicle technology. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing sensor modules, they aim to cater to the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, particularly in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for large-scale applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is smaller in size but still performs well. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this allows for more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for simplified system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
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 highlighted that the current sensor ICs from Infineon, combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide a seamless and compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, particularly when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
