Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Electromobility with High-Performance Current Sensor Modules
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This partnership will speed up the production of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a smaller size but still performs well thanks to its encapsulated current sensor module. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is made to easily fit with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the inverters more compact and efficient.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for simplified system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a successful partnership.
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 performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The current sensor ICs from Infineon, combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's 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 looking into applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
