Abstract
An electronic device for controlling switching circuitry is described. The electronic device includes line voltage measuring circuitry configured to measure a line voltage to produce a line voltage measurement. The electronic device also includes load voltage measuring circuitry configured to measure a load voltage to produce a load voltage measurement. The electronic device further includes a processor coupled to the line voltage measuring circuitry and the load voltage measuring circuitry. The processor is configured to adjust a control signal for a transition of the switching circuitry based on the line voltage measurement and the load voltage measurement to minimize heat generation and electromagnetic interference creation by the switching circuitry.
