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-quality current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the production of current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in electric and hybrid vehicles.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a current sensor module that is fully enclosed and has a smaller size while still maintaining high performance. It is built using the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC and provides accurate sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. This module is specifically created to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for traction inverters in electric cars. This integration eliminates the need for separate external current sensors, allowing for more compact traction inverters in the automotive market.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the new current sensors are revolutionizing system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding has proven to be highly effective.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that the market is looking 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 Infineon's top-notch current sensor ICs and Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
