Infineon and Swoboda’s Collaboration: Developing High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor technology with Swoboda's skills in developing and producing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will help speed up the launch of products like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. Utilizing the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, this module offers precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. Designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2 from Infineon, a power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters, this module eliminates the necessity for external current sensors and allows for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated 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, stated that there is a strong demand 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, provide a seamless fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, offering the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
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.
