1. A device for controlling at least one transistor, comprising:
- said at least one transistor comprising a control electrode and two other electrodes;
a main control circuit connected to the control electrode of the transistor and configured so as to control the state of the transistor in a main operating mode;
an auxiliary control circuit configured to inject, in an auxiliary operating mode, an auxiliary current opposed to the current flowing between the main control circuit and the control electrode of the transistor; and
a power amplifier circuit, notably of the “
push-pull”
type, positioned between the main control circuit and the control electrode of the transistor, the auxiliary control circuit being arranged in such a way that the injected current flows through the power amplifier circuit when the auxiliary operating mode is used.

8. A method for controlling a transistor comprising a control electrode and two other electrodes, by a device comprising, in addition to the transistor:
-
a main control circuit connected to the control electrode of the transistor and configured to control the state of the transistor in a main operating mode, an auxiliary control circuit and a power amplifier circuit, the method comprising; injecting, by the auxiliary control circuit, in an auxiliary operating mode, an auxiliary current into the control electrode of the transistor to oppose the current flowing between the main control circuit and the control electrode of the transistor, wherein the power amplifier circuit, of a “
push-pull”
type, is positioned between the main control circuit and the control electrode of the transistor, the auxiliary control circuit being arranged so that the injected current flows through this power amplifier circuit when the auxiliary operating mode is used,the auxiliary operating mode being used when a predetermined condition is detected. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
