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 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, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, particularly in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will help speed up the release of high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive components.
One of the products offered 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 minimal error. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it enables the creation of more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors of this new generation are raising the bar for system integration by simplifying the process. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be an ideal partnership.
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, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions can be seamlessly integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions that can be used with various power devices. These solutions are also being designed for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
