10. A method comprising:
receiving a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal from a controller;
measuring, with a switch driver circuit and using a sensor, a voltage magnitude across a first terminal and a second terminal of a switch circuit; and
applying, according to the PWM signal, a driving pulse to a control terminal of the switch circuit, wherein the driving pulse comprises a current magnitude that is based on the measured voltage magnitude.
