Abstract
An apparatus includes a DC-DC converter having a semiconductor switch and a current source, wherein the DC-DC converter includes a commutation resonant circuit that is at least partially determined by parasitic characteristics of the DC-DC converter. The apparatus includes a driving unit configured to switch the semiconductor switch by performing a switching process. The driving unit is configured to perform the switching process with a switching duration that is shorter than a cycle duration of a resonant frequency of the commutation resonant circuit. Furthermore, the driving unit is configured to select a time instant of the switching process such that a current provided by the current source generates an overshoot at the semiconductor switch of at most 30% with respect to an idle state of the semiconductor switch.
