Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Sensing Solutions
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 experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact and efficient.
Klaus Lebherz, 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 expertise in injection molding is proving to be very successful.
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. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's expertise in the field.
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.
