Abstract
Disclosed is a method for driving a transistor device and an electronic circuit. The method includes: in an on-state of the transistor device (), reducing a drive voltage (V) of the transistor device () from a maximum voltage level (V) to an intermediate voltage level (V) that is higher than a threshold voltage level (V) of the transistor device (); maintaining the intermediate voltage level (V) for a predefined time period (T); and reducing the drive voltage (V) to below the threshold voltage level (V) after the predefined time period (T) to switch the transistor device to an off-state.
