Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Time-to-Market for Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. The partnership combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and producing sensor modules for the automotive industry. This collaboration aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. Their high-performance current measurement solutions will help speed up the production of traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive applications.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to easily work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module by Infineon for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration removes the necessity for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact than others in the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of these solutions into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 offers a very compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
At the moment, Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various power devices. They are also looking to apply these solutions in areas like inverter DC links and high voltage battery management.
