Claim 11:
12. A load control device configured to control power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load, the load control device comprising:
a hot terminal adapted to be electrically coupled to a hot side of the AC power source;
a dimmed-hot terminal adapted to be electrically coupled to the electrical load;
a neutral terminal;
a controllable conductive device coupled in series with the electrical load, the controllable conductive device comprising a first semiconductor switch and a second semiconductor switch;
a control circuit; and
a first closed-loop gate drive circuit configured to:
receive a first drive signal from the control circuit, and
generate a first gate control signal in response to the first drive signal and a drain-source current through the first semiconductor switch.
