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 skills in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the development and 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 sector.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide accurate sensing with minimal error. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, resulting in more compact traction inverters on the market.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the current sensors in this new generation are raising the bar for easy system integration. He explained that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a great fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by the use of top-of-the-line current sensor ICs and the expertise of Swoboda.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also looking into applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
