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 vehicle technology. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive uses like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the new products available 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 accuracy with minimal error. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for electric vehicle traction inverters, this module eliminates the need for external current sensors and allows for more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting new standards for easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a great fit.
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. By combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's expertise, the HybridPack Drive G2 offers the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various types of power devices. They are also looking to apply these solutions to inverter DC links and high voltage battery management, along with other potential uses.
