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, the partnership aims to meet the rising demand for sensing solutions in hybrid and electric cars. These collaborative solutions will speed up the introduction of high-volume applications like traction inverters and battery management systems in the automotive industry.
One of the new products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, includes a compact current sensor module that maintains high performance while taking up less space. It utilizes the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC to provide precise sensing with an error rate below 2 percent. The module is designed to easily integrate with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, an automotive power module by Infineon used in electric vehicle traction inverters. This integration eliminates the need for 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 setting higher standards for system integration. The combination of Infineon's sensor technology and Swoboda's injection molding expertise 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 strong need in the market for current sensing solutions that are high performing, compact, and easy to integrate. The integration of Infineon's current sensor ICs into the HybridPack Drive G2 creates the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, made possible by the collaboration with Swoboda and their expertise.
Infineon and Swoboda are working together to create more current sensing solutions that can be used for various power devices. These solutions are also being developed for applications such as inverter DC links and high voltage battery management, among others.
