Abstract:
A method of controlling a power field-effect transistor includes controlling a plurality of different phases of a gate-to-source voltage of the power field-effect transistor. Without comparing the gate-to-source voltage of the power field effect transistor to a plurality of reference voltages, the method includes discriminating between the different phases of the gate-to-source voltage based on the plurality of reference voltages. At least one of the plurality of reference voltages is based on a threshold voltage of at least one field-effect transistor.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2  further comprising controlling the power field-effect transistor in fifth, sixth and seventh phases to turn off the power field-effect transistor, the controlling including,\n sinking in the fifth phase a first discharge current from the gate of the power field-effect transistor as long as the voltage between the gate and a source of the power field-effect transistor is greater than the second reference voltage; \n sinking in the sixth phase a second discharge current as long as the voltage between the gate and the source of the power field-effect transistor is equal to or less than the second reference voltage and greater than the first reference voltage; and \n sinking in the seventh phase a third discharge current as long as the voltage between the gate and the source of the power field-effect transistor is equal to or less than the first reference voltage.
