Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Sensing Solutions
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This partnership will speed up the development of current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal error. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this product allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors from this new generation are raising the bar for simplified system integration. He highlighted that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, emphasized the need for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate in the market. He highlighted the compatibility of these solutions with Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles thanks to the top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's knowledge in the field.
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.
