Abstract

System and method for a power converter. For example, the system includes a first controller; a first transmitter; a first receiver; one or more first wires; one or more second wires; a second controller; a second receiver connected to the first transmitter through the one or more first wires; and a second transmitter connected to the first receiver through the one or more second wires. The first controller is configured to output a first control signal to a first switch to affect a first current flowing through a primary winding of a power converter; and generate a first input signal. The first transmitter is configured to receive the first input signal and generate the first current. The second receiver includes a first coil configured to generate a first magnetic field based at least in part on the first current flowing through the first coil.
