Transitioning Voltage Regulator Design From Unidirectional To Bidirectional

What happened

Nazzareno Rossetti explores the transition from unidirectional to bidirectional voltage regulators, specifically Phase-Shift Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converters, to support modern Energy Management Systems (EMS). The article highlights that synchronous rectification naturally supports bidirectional flow and proposes two-stage topologies for soft switching. Neutral: This technical trend reflects EMS design evolution but lacks specific supply chain or pricing data.
