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. The collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's skills in developing sensor modules. This joint effort aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. These high-performance current measurement solutions will speed up the production of traction inverters, battery management systems, and other important automotive components.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It uses 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 automotive power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the market.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are leading the way in terms of easy system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has been highly successful.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads 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-performance, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit 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. These solutions are also intended for applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
