| Zusammenfassung: | A bleeder circuit for use in a power converter of a lighting system includes a current sense circuit coupled between first and second terminals of an input of a driver circuit to be coupled to drive a load. The current sense circuit is coupled to output a current sense signal in response to an input current through an input of the power converter coupled to the input of the driver circuit. An edge detection circuit is coupled between the first and second terminals to output an edge detection signal in response to an input signal between the first and second terminals. A variable current circuit is coupled between the first and second terminals to conduct a bleeder current between the first and second terminals in response to current sense signal and further in response to the edge detection signal. |
