Abstract
A method includes performing, by one or more controllers, operations including: receiving a pulse to control an operation of a power switch including a gate terminal; generating, based on the received pulse, a first signal to the gate terminal to increase a gate voltage level of the power switch at a first rate from an off-state gate voltage level to a first on-state gate voltage level in a first time period; and generating, based on the received pulse, a second signal to the gate terminal to increase the gate voltage level of the power switch at a second rate, less than the first rate, to a second on-state gate voltage level in a second time period subsequent to the first time period.
