Innovative Partnership: Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This partnership combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and manufacturing sensor modules for cars. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensor solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These innovative current measurement solutions will speed up the development process for high-volume applications 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. 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 easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module by Infineon that is used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this product allows for the creation of incredibly compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting a new benchmark for easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be highly successful.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda's expertise.
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.
