1. A method for managing measurements in a gate driver system, the method comprising:
with a gate driver integrated circuit, generating a switching signal that transitions according to a variable duty cycle between a first state and a second state;
in response to the switching signal transitioning from the second state to the first state, taking one or more higher priority measurements of the gate driver system according to a first priority schedule; and
after taking the one or more higher priority measurements according to the first priority schedule, and prior to a next transition of the switching signal from the first state to the second state, taking one or more lower priority measurements of the gate driver system according to a second priority schedule.
