Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience 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 applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important uses in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module based on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC. It offers high precision sensing with an error rate below 2 percent and is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters in the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for easy system integration. The collaboration between Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise has been a successful combination.
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 current sensor ICs from Infineon, combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide a seamless fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, offering the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
