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. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing 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 speed up the release of products like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive market.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. The module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed 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 injection molding expertise has proven to be a great combination.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking 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 Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
