Infineon and Swoboda Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Current Sensors for Electromobility: Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda have teamed up to create advanced current sensors for electric vehicles. By combining Infineon's top-of-the-line current sensor ICs with Swoboda's experience in developing sensor modules, they aim to meet the increasing demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This partnership will speed up the introduction of high-performance current measurement solutions for popular applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products is the Swoboda CSM510HP2, which has a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC for precise sensing with an error rate of less than 2 percent. This module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon's power module for electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for external current sensors, making the traction inverters more compact and efficient.
Klaus Lebherz, who is the Head of Business Development at Swoboda, mentioned that the new current sensors are raising the bar when it comes to making system integration easier. He highlighted that the combination of Infineon's advanced sensor technology and Swoboda's expertise in injection molding proved to be a perfect fit.
Andrea Monterastelli, who leads the Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies, stated that there is a growing 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 provides a very compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to the collaboration with Swoboda and their expertise in the field.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create new current sensing solutions for various power devices. They are also focusing on applications such as inverter DC link and managing high voltage batteries.
