Patent ID: 8344639

Claim:
A programmable LED driver comprising; a. an LED driver circuit adapted to receive a 110VAC current and to rectify said AC current into a low voltage rectified DC output current; b. a programmable integrated circuit (PIC); c. means operatively connecting said programmable integrated circuit with said LED driver circuit; d. a capacitive touch pad sensor comprising a plurality of touch pads; e. a capacitive touch pad sensor IC circuit that scans one or more of the touch pads to provide corresponding data to said programmable integrated circuit; f. said programmable integrated circuit being programmable to accept said data as input and generate an output signal to said LED driver circuit corresponding to said data; and g. one or more of said touch pads functioning for dimming such that said programmable integrated circuit r generates a fixed frequency PWM signal having an adjustable duty cycle for dimming said LED's h. said means of paragraph c. providing a low voltage DC current to said programmable integrated circuit and to said capacitive touch pad sensor, said LED driver being adapted to fit within a standard 110 volt AC outlet box.
