Infineon and Swoboda Partner 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 process of bringing high-performance current measurement solutions to market for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this allows for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has proven to be a successful collaboration.
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. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 provides a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various types of power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
