Abstract

See full text

In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a semiconductor switch coupled to an inductor includes turning on the semiconductor switch by applying a turn-on voltage to between a gate of the semiconductor switch and a low current terminal connected to a reference node of the semiconductor switch, the low current terminal separate from a high current reference terminal connected to the reference node of the semiconductor switch, and the semiconductor switch comprises a first input capacitance to transconductance ratio. The method further includes turning off the semiconductor switch by applying a turn-off voltage to the gate of the semiconductor switch, wherein a ratio of a total capacitance at an output node of the semiconductor switch to a gate-drain capacitance is greater than a first ratio per watt of power being handled by a load coupled to the semiconductor switch.
