Infineon Technologies AG and Swoboda announced they’re working on high-performance current sensor modules for electric vehicles.
By synergizing Infineon’s current sensor IC tech and Swoboda’s sensor module tech, the companies will create new modules for EV traction inverters, battery management systems, and other applications.
Infineon reports that the first of these products, the Swoboda CSM510HP2, features a fully encapsulated current sensor module with a significantly reduced footprint without compromising performance. It is based on the Infineon TLE4973 coreless current sensor IC and allows high-precision sensing with a total error below 2 percent. The module is specifically designed for seamless integration with the HybridPACK™ Drive G2, Infineon’s automotive power module for traction inverters in electric vehicles. This eliminates the need for separate external current sensors and thereby enables compact traction inverters.
Infineon also says that this new generation of current sensors sets new standards regarding simplified system integration due to their latest sensor technology combined with Swoboda’s injection molding know-how.
