Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Automotive Current Sensing with High-Performance Sensor Modules for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is encapsulated and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise 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 traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the requirement for external current sensors, resulting in the creation of more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration by making it simpler. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be an ideal partnership.
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. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
