Claim 0:
1. A circuit comprising:
a comparison circuit having a first input adapted to be coupled to an output voltage, a second input adapted to be coupled to an upper reference voltage, and a third input adapted to be coupled to a lower reference voltage;
a slew time detection circuit having a first input adapted to receive a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal and a second input coupled to the comparison circuit;
a gate current control circuit having a first input coupled to receive a target slew time, a second input coupled to the output of the slew time detection circuit and an output; and
a gate driver having a first input adapted to receive the PWM signal and a second input coupled to the output of the gate current control circuit.
