ABSTRACT:
A method and a device for controlling a switching operation consisting of a turn on or a turn off operation in a voltage controlled power transistor is provided. At least one current source is arranged at the control electrode of the power transistor. The at least one current source controls the recharging of at least one of the capacitances which occurs between the control electrode of the power transistor and the main electrode of the power transistor to determine the time rate of change of at least one of the voltage and current.
