Patent ID: 8749143

Claim:
An automotive lighting device controller comprising: a switch having settings configurable to select one of a plurality of intensity levels associated with at least one light emitting diode of a first color and configurable to select one of a plurality of intensity levels associated with at least one light emitting diode of a second color; a first decoder in communication with said switch, the first decoder configured to generate a first decoder output associated with the selected intensity level of said at least one light emitting diode of the first color; a second decoder in communication with said switch, the second decoder configured to generate a second decoder output associated with the selected intensity level of said at least one light emitting diode of the second color; and a light emitting diode driver in communication with the first decoder and the second decoder, the driver configured to supply a first current level to said at least one light emitting diode of the first color based on the first decoder output of the first decoder and to supply a second current level to said at least one light emitting diode of the second color based on the second decoder output of the second decoder, wherein the first decoder is arranged to receive a plurality of first input voltage levels from a first voltage divider, the first decoder configured to generate the first decoder output at least based on one of the plurality of first input voltage levels, said one of the plurality of first input voltage levels selected by the first decoder based on said switch settings associated with said at least one light emitting diode of the first color, and the second decoder is arranged to receive a plurality of second input voltage levels from a second voltage divider, the second decoder configured to generate the second decoder output at least based on one of the plurality of second input voltage levels, said one of the plurality of second input voltage levels selected by the second decoder based on said switch settings associated with said at least one light emitting diode of the second color.
