Infineon and Swoboda Partner 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 developing sensor modules, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will help speed up the introduction of products like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module incorporates the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC, allowing for precise sensing with minimal error. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this module enables the creation of more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the 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 has proven to be a successful partnership.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, 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 options for various power devices. They are also looking into applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
