Abstract

A configuration and a method for the simultaneous switching of transistors connected in series, one from the on state to the off state and the other from the off state to the on state ensures that, when the transistors are switched from the on state to the off state or from the off state to the on state, the gate potential of the transistor that is changed from the off state to the on state by the switching operation changes more slowly than the gate potential of the transistor that is changed from the on state to the off state by the switching operation.
