Abstract: An integrated device on a chip includes an environmental sensor, one or more processing cores coupled to the environmental sensor, and a memory coupled to the one or more processing cores. An interface is coupled to the one or more processing cores. At least one of the processing cores includes an arithmetical floating-point circuit. In operation, the arithmetical floating-point circuit executes instructions to process sensor data received from the environmental sensor by the one or more processing cores. The processing core calculates environmental results information based on the processed sensor data, and provides the calculated environmental results information via the interface.

Abstract: An embodiment of a driving device is proposed for supplying at least one regulated global output current to a load. The driving device includes programming means for programming a value of the global output current within a global current range. Reference means are provided for supplying a reference voltage, which has a value corresponding to the value of the global output current. Conversion means are then used for converting the reference voltage into the global output current. The conversion means may further include a plurality of conversion units for corresponding partial current ranges, which partition the global current range.
