ABSTRACT:
A power semiconductor device (10) and a method for increasing the turn-on time of the power semiconductor device (10). The power semiconductor device (10) has a first stage (13) and a second stage (14), where the transconductance of the first stage (13) is less than the transconductance of the second stage (14). The turn-on time of the power semiconductor device (10) is increased by turning on the first stage (13) before turning on the second stage (14).
