Infineon and Swoboda Partner 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, the partnership aims to meet the rising demand for sensing solutions in the automotive industry. These collaborative efforts will help speed up the introduction of current measurement solutions for high-volume 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 has a compact current sensor module that doesn't sacrifice performance. It uses the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with less than 2 percent error. The module is made to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, which is Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact than ever.
Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda, stated that the current sensors in this new generation are making system integration much simpler. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise 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 a compact option for hybrid and electric vehicles. This is made possible by using top-notch current sensor ICs and leveraging Swoboda's expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing options for various types of power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and high voltage battery management.
