Abstract
A way of converting sensed signals to a desirable form of electrical signals is provided that includes providing an input signal to a common input terminal of a sensing block. The way comprises receiving a sensed signal from the sensing block in response to applying the input signal.
Claims30
An apparatus, comprising:
- an input block to apply an input signal to a common input terminal of a sensing block;
- and
- a converting block to receive a sensed signal from the sensing block in response to applying the input signal.
A method comprising:
- providing an input signal to a common input terminal of a sensing block;
- receiving a sensed signal from the sensing block based on providing the input signal;
- and
- providing a signal based on the sensed signal.

An apparatus, comprising:
- an input block to provide an input signal to a common terminal of a first capacitor and a second capacitor of a sensing block;
- and
- a converting block to receive a sensed signal from the sensing block in response to applying the input signal.
A restraint system, comprising:
- a sensing circuit to:
- apply an input signal to a common input terminal of a sensing block;
- receive a sensed signal from the sensing block in response to applying the input signal;
- and
- provide an output signal based at least in part on the sensed signal;
- and
