The apparatus includes a driving unit configured to switch the semiconductor switch by performing a switching process. The driving unit is configured to perform the switching process with a switching duration that is shorter than a cycle duration of a resonant frequency of the commutation resonant circuit. Furthermore, the driving unit is configured to select a time instant of the switching process such that a current provided by the current source generates an overshoot at the semiconductor switch of at most 30% with respect to an idle state of the semiconductor switch."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Apparatus having a DC-DC converter","description":"An apparatus includes a DC-DC converter having a semiconductor switch and a current source, wherein the DC-DC converter includes a commutation resonant circuit that is at least partially determined by","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-10530265","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
