Abstract:
A load control device for controlling the power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load includes a thyristor, a gate coupling circuit for conducting a gate current through a gate of the thyristor, and a control circuit for controlling the gate coupling circuit to conduct the gate current through a first current path to render the thyristor conductive at a firing time during a half cycle. The gate coupling circuit is able to conduct the gate current through the first current path again after the firing time, but the gate current is not able to be conducted through the gate from a transition time before the end of the half-cycle until approximately the end of the half-cycle. The load current is able to be conducted through a second current path to the electrical load after the transition time until approximately the end of the half-cycle.

Claim (Index 3):
The dimmer switch of  claim 2 , wherein the second current path includes the gate coupling circuit and a resistor electrically coupled in series between the first and second main terminals of the triac, the gate coupling circuit electrically coupled between the first main terminal of the triac and the controllable switching circuit, the resistor electrically coupled between the second main terminal of the triac and the junction of the gate coupling circuit and the controllable switching circuit, the resistor configured to conduct current through the lighting load when the triac is non-conductive.
