Abstract
A switching device includes a first leg having a plurality of transistors connected in series. The switching device also includes a second leg having a transistor, connected in parallel to the first leg. The switching device further includes a controller controlling the plurality of transistors and the transistor. The controller is configured to turn the switching device from a first state to a second state by first turning the transistor from the first state to the second stat and then turning the plurality of transistors from the first state to the second state.
