3 Current Sensing in DC/DC Converters

There are many implementations for DC/DC converters applicable to be used for EV charging applications. Typically, an isolated architecture is chosen. Two topologies that are used frequently as bidirectional topologies are Dual Active Bridge with Phase Shift Control and Dual Active Bridge in Resonant CLLLC configuration. Both topologies are explained in detail and how to implement current sensing in the topologies are discussed in the next sections.
