Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for use in electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line 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 collaboration will speed up the development process for high-volume 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 available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module is built around the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, providing precise sensing with less than a 2 percent error rate. It is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this module allows for the creation of smaller and more efficient traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. The combination of Infineon's 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, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon`s HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the use of top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's specialized knowledge.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. These solutions will be used in applications such as inverter DC links and managing high voltage batteries.
