A system and method is provided for driving a power field-effect transistor (FET). In one embodiment, a system comprises a control circuit that generates a control signal to provide a gate voltage of the power FET. The system further comprises a slope control circuit coupled between the control circuit and the power FET that is operative to dynamically control the rate-of-change of a gate voltage of the power FET to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions and power loss resulting from switching the power FET.
