Patent ID: 11031929

Abstract:
A method of driving a transistor includes generating an off-current during a plurality of turn-off switching events to control a gate voltage at a gate terminal of the transistor, wherein generating the off-current includes sinking a first portion of the off-current from the gate terminal to discharge a first portion of the gate voltage, and sinking, during a boost interval, a second portion of the off-current from the gate terminal to discharge a second portion of the gate voltage; measuring a transistor parameter indicative of an oscillation of a drain-source voltage of the transistor for a first turn-off switching event during which the transistor is transitioned off; activating the first portion of the off-current for a second turn-off switching event; and activating the second portion of the off-current for the second turn-off switching event, including regulating a length of the boost interval based on the measured transistor parameter.
