Abstract
In an embodiment, a method of driving a switch transistor includes activating the switch transistor by charging a control node of the switch transistor at a first charging rate for a first time duration. After charging the control node of the switch transistor at the first charging rate, the control node of the switch transistor is further charged at a second charging rate until the control node of the switch transistor reaches a target signal level, where the second charging rate is less than the first charging rate.
