Electronic switch e.g. insulated gate bipolar transistor, switching method, involves increasing and/or decreasing potential of control terminal of switch up to target potential based on initial condition, and beyond target potential

摘要

The method involves continuously increasing and/or decreasing a potential of a control terminal (11g) of an electronic switch e.g. transistor (11) up to a target potential based on an initial condition. The potential of the terminal is continuously increased and/or decreased beyond the target potential. A derivative of a function of the potential of the terminal at the time up to achieving the target potential at an average of around factor 2 is larger than the derivative of the function after achieving the target potential. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a circuit arrangement for switching an electronic switch (2) a driver circuit with an electronic switch.
