An apparatus may include a dimmer output voltage emulator for causing a power converter interface circuit to draw current from a capacitor in the power converter interface during a period of time when a dimmer coupled to the power converter interface circuit is non-conducting to generate an emulated dimmer output voltage. The emulated dimmer output voltage may emulate part of a cycle of a non-zero AC dimmer output voltage of the dimmer after a triac of the dimmer prematurely stops conducting that would occur if the triac continued conducting during the part of the cycle. The dimmer output voltage emulator may include a pull-down circuit to pull down current of the interface circuit and generally decrease the emulated dimmer output voltage during a first period of time and a hold circuit to maintain the emulated dimmer output voltage below a substantially non-zero threshold value during a second period of time. |
