Infineon and Swoboda Partner to Develop Cutting-Edge Current Sensors for Electromobility Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces to create advanced current sensor modules for use in automotive applications, particularly in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership brings together Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's specialized knowledge in developing and producing sensor modules. By collaborating, they are able to offer fast and efficient solutions for high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry. This cooperation aims to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in the electromobility sector and drive innovation in key automotive applications.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this product allows for the creation of the most space-efficient traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar in terms of easier system integration. He noted that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise proved to be highly effective.
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. Monterastelli highlighted that the current sensor ICs from Infineon Technologies, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
