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. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in sensor module development and production, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This collaboration will speed up the release of high-performance current measurement solutions for applications like traction inverters and battery management systems, as well as other important automotive uses.
One of the new products available is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. This module is built on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC and offers precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. It is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module from Infineon used in electric vehicle traction inverters. By eliminating the need for external current sensors, this integration allows for the creation of extremely compact traction inverters.
Klaus Lebherz, the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that this new line of current sensors is raising the bar for easy system integration. 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 need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performance, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 offers a compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, with expertise from Swoboda contributing to its success.
Infineon and Swoboda are collaborating 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.
