    Abstract: A two-stage power converter has a Power-Factor Converter (PFC) and a Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter connected together by a DC link voltage. The DAB converter outputs a battery voltage with a battery current. A PFC controller divides a reference power constant by the battery voltage to get a battery current reference that is multiplied by a constant and compared to the DC link voltage to adjust Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) control signals to the PFC. The reference power constant is compared to the battery current during Constant-Power mode to cause a DAB controller to modulate duty ratio and phase difference between primary and secondary-side PWM control signals to the DAB converter. The DAB converter duty ratio and phase difference are modulated by comparing the battery current to a battery current limit during Constant-Current mode and by comparing the battery voltage to a battery voltage limit during Constant-Voltage mode.
