Bi-directional pulse-current sensors for bi-directional PWM DC-DC converters

This paper describes the design of a bi-directional pulse-current sensor for bi-directional PWM DC-DC converters. The bi-directional pulse-current sensor consists of two unidirectional pulse-current sensors sharing an integrated magnetic component (functioning as two transformers). Simulation and experimental results have proved the usefulness of the bi-directional sensor.
