Driver circuitry and methods are provided for driving a semiconductor device. The driver circuitry includes a buck converter configured to generate a baseline current, and a capacitor coupled between an output of the buck converter and ground, the capacitor configured to store charge during an off-state of the buck converter and to discharge the stored charge as a peak current during an on-state of the buck converter, wherein the baseline current reaches a current limit prior to the capacitor being fully discharged, and an output current at an output of the buck converter is based, at least in part, on the baseline current and the peak current. |
