CONTROL CIRCUIT AND CONTROL METHOD FOR TURNING ON A POWER SEMICONDUCTOR SWITCH

摘要

A control circuit for turning on a power semiconductor switch includes: an input formed to receive a signal characterizing a switch-on behavior of the power semiconductor switch; and a variable current source formed to supply a current having a variable level by the control input of the power semiconductor switch in order to switch on the power semiconductor switch. The control circuit is formed to control the variable current source by a closed control loop in response to the signal characterizing the switch-on behavior of the power semiconductor switch.
