Abstract
An apparatus for an LED driver with a silicon-controlled dimmer, can include: a bleeder circuit coupled to a DC bus of the LED driver; and a controller configured to control the bleeder circuit to draw a bleeder current from the DC bus when a conduction angle of the silicon-controlled dimmer is less than an angle threshold, in order to maintain a conduction state of the silicon-controlled dimmer.
