Abstract

A method is described for controlling switching edges for switched output stages, in which a voltage at a switching node of the output stage is detected; a reference time is started when the voltage reaches a predefined reference value; the steepness of the switching edge is reduced if the voltage has reached a second predefined reference value at an end of the reference time; and the steepness of the switching edge is increased if the voltage has not reached the second predefined reference value at the end of the reference time. Furthermore, a control device for adjusting switching edges for switched output stages is provided.
