Abstract
A control circuit provides a signal to a control terminal of the transistor to control the conductivity of the transistor. The control circuit includes a voltage-to-current converter that provides an indication of the control terminal-to-current terminal voltage of a transistor. The control circuit includes control circuitry that uses the indication from the voltage-to-current converter in controlling the current applied to the control terminal.
