Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Sensing Solutions
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda are working together to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. This collaboration combines Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing and producing sensor modules. These high-performance current sensor modules will cater to the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. The partnership aims to speed up the introduction of current measurement solutions for popular automotive applications like traction inverters and battery management systems.
One of the products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with minimal errors. 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, it allows for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, expressed that the current sensors in this new generation are leading the way in terms of making system integration easier. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful partnership.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. These solutions seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by utilizing Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating on creating more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also targeting applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
