Abstract

A driver circuit for driving a switch includes a high output impedance driver circuit portion having a high impedance output node coupled to the control terminal of the transistor and a low output impedance driver circuit portion having a low impedance output node also coupled to the control terminal of the transistor. The slew rate of the control signal is established by at least one of the high impedance driver circuit portion and the low impedance driver circuit portion.
