    Abstract: A bidirectional DC-to-DC converter includes first terminals connected to a direct current source, second terminals connected to a load that can be supplied with direct current, a transformer stage including a primary and a secondary circuit that can be magnetically coupled to each other, a switching stage operatively interposed between the two first terminals and the primary circuit and a rectifier stage operatively interposed between the two second terminals and the secondary circuit. A control unit is configured to drive the switching stage and the rectifier stage. The control unit is configured to switch a first switch of the primary circuit and a second switch of the secondary circuit between an open and a closed condition as a function of the level of power transferred by the transformer stage and/or the direction of the energy flow, to change the topology of the primary circuit and/or the secondary circuit.
