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 electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important areas in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module designed for high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is tailored for easy integration with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this product allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that 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 high-performing, compact, and easily integratable current sensing solutions. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and the expertise of Swoboda.
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.
