Infineon and Swoboda Partner to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This partnership combines Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and manufacturing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. These collaborative efforts will help speed up the development and release of high-performance current measurement solutions for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive sector.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and smaller in size without sacrificing performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with minimal error. This module is designed to seamlessly work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By integrating the current sensor within the power module, the need for external sensors is eliminated, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are setting a higher standard for system integration. He explained 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, mentioned that the market is looking for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that their current sensor ICs and Swoboda's expertise have allowed for a seamless integration into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. They are also looking to apply these solutions to inverter DC links and high voltage battery management systems, among other potential uses.
