Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's sensor module development skills, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will help speed up the production of current measurement solutions for traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive applications.
One product, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's automotive power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for the creation of the most compact traction inverters available on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration. He also highlighted how the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding was a perfect 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. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used for various power devices. These solutions are also intended for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
