Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create and sell advanced current sensor modules for use in cars. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing and manufacturing sensor modules. The goal is to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These joint efforts will speed up the release of high-performance current measurement solutions for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One product, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has a compact current sensor module that maintains performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with a low error rate. The module is made to easily work with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration removes the need for external current sensors, resulting in smaller traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. He highlighted 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 leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 allows for a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda and their expertise.
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.
