Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Electromobility with High-Performance Current Sensors: 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 target the growing market for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. This partnership will speed up the process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to market for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products offered is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is a power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration simplicity. He stated that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, highlighted the need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles with the help of Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. These solutions will be useful for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
