Abstract

In an example, a circuit for controlling at least two electronic switches in a parallel configuration between a power supply and a load. The circuit includes a control circuit to generate first and second control signals to control first and second electronic switches of the at least two electronic switches, and establish a conduction sequence of the first and second electronic switches using the first and second control signals. The circuit includes a detection circuit configured to detect a current flowing through a control terminal of the first electronic switch during a transition portion, wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the first control signal and establish the second portion of the conduction sequence in response to the detected current.
