Abstract: A Smart ANSI Microcontroller is provided to retrofit preexisting light fixtures. The preexisting light fixtures are configured with 5 pin or 7 pin ANSI receptacles. The Smart ANSI Microcontroller is configured to accept a variety of control signals and to control the power output of the driver of the preexisting driver of the luminaire in order to control the light output of the luminaire. The Smart ANSI Microcontroller is configured with a 5 pin or 7 pin ANSI male connector that is configured for mating engagement with the 5 pin or 7 pin female ANSI connector found in typical prior art luminaires, such as street lamps. The Smart ANSI Microcontroller allows for contemporary accessory light controllers to be utilized with the preexisting luminaires. The contemporary light controllers can be configured to connect to the Smart ANSI Microcontroller via wireless and/or wired connection.

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.
