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-notch current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the rising demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-quality current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with Infineon's HybridPACK™ Drive G2, a power module used in 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, Swoboda's Head of Business Development, stated that the new current sensors are raising the bar for system integration with their simplified design. He mentioned that the combination of Infineon's 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, mentioned that there is a growing need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high-performing, compact, and easy to integrate. He highlighted that their current sensor ICs, when combined with Swoboda's expertise, seamlessly fit into Infineon's HybridPack Drive G2, providing the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. Some of the applications they are focusing on are inverter DC links and high voltage battery management, among others.
