Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Automotive Innovation
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This partnership combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules for automotive use. By joining forces, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These innovative current measurement solutions will speed up the release of products like traction inverters and battery management systems for the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. Designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle inverters, this module eliminates the need for external current sensors and allows for more compact inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who is in charge of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the current sensors in this new generation have raised the bar when it comes to making system integration easier. He also noted that the combination of Infineon's latest sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a great fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible through the use of Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and the expertise of Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications like inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
