Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By merging Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's know-how in sensor module development, they aim to meet the growing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive technologies.
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 for precise sensing with less than 2 percent error. This module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration removes the need for external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters to be produced.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors have raised the bar for easy system integration. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be a successful 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 seamlessly integrate into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using Infineon's top-quality current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more 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.
