Claim:
1. An integrated sensor device comprising: a sensing element; and a communication interface configured to be coupled to the sensing element and to communicate with an external control device, the communication interface comprising a receiver circuit configured to receive, from the external control device, a signal indicating a request to change a transmission mode, and a transmitter circuit configured to change the transmission mode based on the received signal, wherein: the communication interface is configured to transmit, to the external device via the transmitter circuit, using at least a pulse-width-modulation scheme, the integrated sensor device is configured to be coupled to a power supply, and the integrated sensor device is configured to perform at least one of increase an amplitude of a signal transmitted by the transmitter circuit in response to a higher electrical power provided by the power supply and improve power supply rejection ratio of the integrated sensor device in response to a higher electrical power provided by the power supply.
