An apparatus for regulating a slew time of an output voltage of a motor driver system includes a gate current control circuit which has a first input coupled to receive a target slew time and a second input coupled to receive a slew time. The gate current control circuit provides an incremented gate current if the slew time is greater than the target slew time and provides a decremented gate current if the slew time is less than the target slew time. The apparatus includes a gate driver which has a first input coupled to receive a PWM signal and a second input coupled to receive the gate current. The gate driver provides a gate drive signal.
