Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. Infineon is providing top-quality current sensor ICs, while Swoboda is using their knowledge in sensor module development to bring these products to market. This partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. The collaboration will speed up the introduction of current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed for easy integration with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are setting new benchmarks for easy system integration. He stated that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be an ideal pairing.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of 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 current sensor ICs from Infineon, along with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2 to offer a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
