Abstract
According to aspects of the present disclosure there is provided an apparatus and method for sensing. The apparatus includes a sensor circuit which includes a first output terminal, a second output terminal and a sensor that is provided in a bridge circuit arrangement. The sensor circuit is configured such that a sensor measurement can be determined based on a voltage difference between first and second output terminals. The apparatus is configured so as to prevent a current from being able to flow from the first output terminal through the sensor circuit to the second output terminal.

An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor circuit comprising:
- a first output terminal, a second output terminal and a sensor provided in a bridge circuit arrangement;
- wherein the sensor circuit is configured such that a sensor measurement can be determined based on a voltage difference between the first and second output terminals;
- and
- wherein the apparatus is configured so as to prevent a current from being able to flow from the first output terminal through the sensor circuit to the second output terminal.
A method comprising causing, at least in part, actions that result in:
- preventing a current from flowing from an output terminal of a sensor circuit through the sensor circuit to another output terminal of the sensor circuit, wherein the sensor circuit comprises:
- a sensor provided in a bridge circuit arrangement;
- wherein the sensor circuit is configured such that a sensor measurement can be determined based on a voltage difference between the output terminals of the sensor circuit.
