Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicle technology. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's knowledge in sensor module development, the partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will help speed up the production of 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, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size but still performs well. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is specially made to work seamlessly with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module for traction inverters in electric cars. By integrating the sensor into the power module, there is no need for separate external sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the latest current sensors have raised the bar for system integration by simplifying the process. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a strong demand in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He mentioned that their current sensor ICs, combined with Swoboda's expertise, provide the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles when integrated into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for a variety of power devices. These solutions will also be used in applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
