In an embodiment an electro-thermal device includes a heater, a readout circuit, a digital controller having a first input coupled to a first output of the readout circuit and a digital sigma-delta modulator having a first input coupled to an output of the digital controller and an output coupled to the heater.

Electro-thermal based device and method for operating a heater

We disclose herein an electronic device comprising: a state machine for receiving an output signal from a sensor; a comparator operatively coupled with the state machine; and a first processor operatively coupled with the comparator. The state machine is configured to receive the output signal from the at least one sensor to obtain sensor measurement data and configured to pass the obtained sensor measurement data to the comparator. The comparator is configured to process the obtained sensor measurement data into first processed sensor data, and configured to compare the first processed sensor data with a first predetermined threshold limit. The comparator is configured to inform the first processor about the obtained sensor measurement data if the first processed sensor data exceed the first predetermined threshold limit.
