Abstract
A universal power supplying module for controlling the application of power to a plurality of loads is disclosed. The universal power module receives a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) data signal which includes a plurality of PWM pulses. Each of the PWM pulses is associated with a respective one of the loads and has a width which is indicative of whether or not power is to be applied to its associated load. The universal power module stores binary information in accordance with the pulse width of the PWM pulses and controls the application of power to the loads as a function of the stored information.
