Hello,
Please can you confirm that the use of a Unidirectional Current Sense Transformer (CST) as shown on the first page of the UCC28950 (Phase shift full bridge converter) datasheet is totally wrong?
(It is a Phase Shift Full Bridge converter and the Current Sense Transformer should instead be a Bidirectional Current Sense Transformer. (-because the current in the primary of the CST is bi-directional due to the current back-flowing from the leakage inductance.)

The attached LTspice simulation and pdf schematic of a Phase Shift Full Bridge converter shows the situation. You can see that the magnetising current in the unidirectional CST is way too high.
