A controller for a power converter having at least a first switch and a second switch. Each switch is a transistor with a collector terminal, an emitter terminal, and a base terminal. The controller is connectable to the base terminals of the first and second switches to provide a base current to the base terminals of the first and second switches, and connectable to the emitter terminals of the first and second switches to provide a short-circuit between the base and emitter terminals of the first and second switches. The controller also comprises a timing circuit for controlling the provision of the base current and the short-circuit in a sequence. An associated method is also provided.
