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. This collaboration brings together Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor technology with Swoboda's skills in developing and producing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current sensors will speed up the production of traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive applications.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for accurate sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is made to work seamlessly with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the sensor into the power module, there is no need for separate external sensors, making the traction inverters more compact.
Klaus Lebherz, Swoboda's Head of Business Development, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise proved to be an ideal partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who is in charge of the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, mentioned that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that their current sensor ICs seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles. Monterastelli also emphasized the expertise of Swoboda in enabling this integration.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
