Claim 0:
1. An electronic circuit for controlling a power switch having a gate input, comprising:
a signal generator configured to generate a gate driver input signal, wherein the gate driver input signal has a first voltage during a first period of time, a second voltage during a second period of time, and toggles between the first voltage and the second voltage during a third period of time; and
a gate driver configured to receive the gate driver input signal and to provide a gate driver output signal to the gate input of the power switch based on the gate driver input signal; and
wherein the signal generator is configured to cause the gate driver input signal to toggle during the third period of time such that the gate driver output signal has a third voltage during the second period of time, and an intermediate voltage that is less than the third voltage during the third period of time.
