High-performance current sensor modules for automotive applications are developed and marketed in collaboration with Infineon Technologies and Swoboda.High-Performing Current Sensor By Infineon, Swoboda the volt post

The collaboration addresses the rapidly expanding market for sensing modules for hybrid and electric vehicles by combining the best-in-class current sensor integrated circuits (ICs) from Infineon with Swoboda’s experience in the development and manufacture of sensor modules.

For high-volume applications like battery management systems and traction inverters, as well as for other important automotive applications, the collaborative high-performance current measurement solutions shorten time-to-market.

The Swoboda CSM510HP2, the first of these products, is a completely encapsulated current sensor module that has a substantially smaller footprint without sacrificing performance. With a total error of less than 2 percent, it enables high precision sensing and is based on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC.

The module is particularly made to work seamlessly with Infineon’s automotive power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles, the HybridPACK Drive G2. This makes the compact traction inverters available on the market possible by doing away with the requirement for separate external current sensors.

“This new generation of current sensors sets new standards in regards of simplified system integration”, said Klaus Lebherz, Head of Business Development at Swoboda. “Infineon’s latest sensor technology and our injection molding know how turned out to be a perfect match”.

“The market demands high performance, compact and easy to integrate current sensing solutions” said Andrea Monterastelli, Head of Automotive Magnetic Sensors Product Group at Infineon Technologies. “The seamless fit into Infineon`s HybridPack Drive G2 offers the most compact solution for hybrid and electric vehicles, enabled by our best-in-class current sensor ICs and Swoboda’s expertise.”

More current sensing solutions are presently being developed by Infineon and Swoboda to support all power devices. High voltage battery management and inverter DC connection are two more intended applications.
