Abstract

A method of turning on a power semiconductor switch includes receiving a first signal that characterizes a switch-on behavior of the power semiconductor switch, and detecting two or more phases of the switch-on behavior of the power semiconductor switch in response to the first signal. The method further includes detecting a peak indicative of a phase transition between the two or more phases, generating a phase signal indicative of the two or more phases, and providing a variable current to a control input of the power semiconductor switch in response to the first signal.
