Abstract
A microcontroller configured to monitor the input voltage and load conditions, and continuously adjust the switching frequencies in order to optimize the efficiency and longevity of the power supply incorporated in a device. The microcontroller utilizes a combination of GaN switching elements with their efficient high frequency switching capabilities, together with the continuous monitoring of the load conditions, allowing the intelligent microcontroller to vary the switching frequency of the power conversion blocks as needed in order to maintain the highest efficiency of conversion. The microcontroller can be utilized to control a luminaire or other device into which the controller is preferably integrated. The microcontroller can utilize one or more environmental sensors configured for sensing internal environmental conditions and/or external environmental conditions. Preferably the microcontroller utilizes an energy storage device configured to power the microcontroller and associated sensors to allow the mesh network controls to continue functioning in the event of a power outage.
