Infineon and Swoboda Revolutionize Automotive Sensing with High-Performance Current Sensor Modules for Electromobility
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are collaborating to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicle applications. By combining Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in developing and producing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will speed up the development of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular automotive components like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important applications in the automotive industry.
One of the new products released is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this integration allows for more compact traction inverters to be created.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are setting higher standards for easier system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise worked well together.
According to Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, small, and easy to incorporate. These solutions seamlessly integrate with 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 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.
