Abstract
Methods and apparatuses include operating a semiconductor component using a DC/DC-converter. The DC/DC-converter has its duty cycle controlled. A voltage at the semiconductor component is sensed for a voltage. The duty cycle is controlled or regulated so that the sensed voltage corresponds to a predetermined voltage. The predetermined voltage may be gradually increased until a difference between the sensed voltage and the predetermined voltage reaches a predetermined limit.
