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. This collaboration merges Infineon's top-quality 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. By working together, they can quickly bring high-performance current measurement solutions to market for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This product utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing accuracy with an error rate below 2 percent. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for additional external current sensors, allowing for more compact and efficient traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. The collaboration between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be highly successful.
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 performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
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.
