Configurable LED driver/dimmer for solid state lighting applications

A configurable light emitting diode (LED) driver/dimmer for controlling a set of light fixture loads comprising:

• a power circuit including:
• an inrush current limit;
• a DC/DC converter;
• a power factor correction (PFC) boost connected to the inrush current limit and the DC/DC converter;
• a regulated output voltage bus connected to the DC/DC converter;
• and
• at least one power limit connected to the output voltage bus;
• a primary controller for controlling the power circuit;
• a set of output current drivers, each of the set of output current drivers connected to one of the set of light fixture loads for controlling the associated light fixture load;
• a secondary controller for controlling the set of output current drivers;
• wherein the secondary controller transmits LED control information to control outputs of the set of output current drivers.
