Infineon and Swoboda Join Forces 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 sensor module development, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, particularly in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will speed up the release of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has a compact current sensor module based on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC. It offers high precision sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily 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 on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easier system integration. The combination of Infineon's latest sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a 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 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 more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
