Abstract:
    A driver apparatus for a voltage driven type switching element and a method for driving a voltage driven type switching element that discharge an electrical charge stored at the gate terminal of the voltage driven type switching element at a discharge rate. The discharge rate is controlled so that the change rate over time of the voltage between the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the voltage driven type switching element approaches a predetermined change rate. Control of the change rate over time of the voltage between the collector terminal and the emitter terminal to attain the predetermined change rate is delayed for a predetermined delay time after start of the turn-off operation.
