Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have joined forces 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, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These high-performance current measurement solutions will speed up the production process for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive components.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. By integrating the sensor directly into the power module, there is no longer a need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new generation of current sensors is revolutionizing system integration with its simplified design. He explained that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly successful.
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 top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and the expertise of Swoboda.
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.
