Current sensing in power electronics

Current sensing is crucial in power electronics as it is necessary for control, fault detection, current balancing, and so on. Most current sensors nowadays are based on external components and are integrated with the power switches on the PCB level, leading to high system cost and size. In this project, we will explore the possibility of an integrated current sensing scheme, which can take current sensing in power electronics to the next level.
