Abstract
The circuit configuration has a semiconductor switch and a driver circuit that drives the switch. A switching signal is applied at an input terminal of the driver circuit and an output terminal that is connected to a control input of the semiconductor switch outputs a drive signal. The drive signal depends on the switching signal and its gradient during a change from a first drive level to a second drive level is temperature-dependent.
