Systems and methods for an adaptive power drive in an illumination system

A power drive for an illumination system for an imaging assembly comprising:

• an illumination port adapted to receive an illumination unit that includes one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a memory storing data indicative of the LEDs;
• an LED driver;
• and
• at least one processor operatively connected to the illumination port and the LED driver, the at least one processor being configured to:
• analyze the data in the memory to determine a configuration of the one or more LEDs;
• obtain illumination control instructions for operating the one or more LEDs during one or more illumination cycles;
• control one or more switches of the illumination unit in accordance with illumination control instructions;
• determine a current requirement for operating the one or more LEDs in accordance with the illumination control instructions;
• and
• set a current control set point of the LED driver to the current requirement.
