Abstract
A system including an integrated circuit chip also includes a microcontroller in the chip and an algorithm for execution by the microcontroller. The algorithm includes addition, subtraction, and multiplication operators (e.g.) and shift-left and shift-right operators (e.g.,) configured for solving particular equations (Eqns. 1-4). Input numbers are within particular ranges to allow the shift operators to shift binary bits so each number so it fits within a register of a particular width. An IR sensor () may convert IR radiation () to produce a voltage (V) representing the temperature (T) of an IR emitting object (). The algorithm () operates in conjunction with the microcontroller () to convert the voltage (V) into a value representing the temperature (T) of the remote object () without keeping track of decimal points and resolution of the numbers.
