Abstract

See full text

A system and method of controlling the primary switching FET turn-on and turn-off profiles in a switching power converter suppresses voltage and current spikes, reduces power consumption, and reduces system switching time. A combination of fast and slow shunt circuits is used to control current flow through the primary switching FET. The FET switching rate is slowed during the period of maximum current change to limit the magnitude of switching spikes and is allowed to proceed rapidly at other times to reduce switching time and power consumption.
