Abstract
Systems and methods for operating switches of a power supply are disclosed. The method includes generating power with a power source and switchably coupling the power source to an output of the power supply. One or more switches are opened and closed to generate a voltage waveform at the output, and in addition, the one or more switches are opened and closed to reduce a temperature differential that occurs between a low temperature and a high temperature of each switch by increasing the low temperature of each switch.
