Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Automotive Current Sensing with High-Performance Sensor Modules for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This collaboration involves using Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs and Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. By joining forces, they are able to quickly bring high-performance current measurement solutions to market for traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive applications.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a current sensor module that is smaller in size but still performs well. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By doing this, it removes the need for external current sensors and allows for more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, Swoboda's Head of Business Development, expressed that the new current sensors are leading the way in making system integration easier. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a 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.
