Apparatus for processing sensor signals having switch-capacitor structures

Arrangement for processing sensor signals being furnished by a resistance sensor generating a measuring effect signal representing the dependence of the electrical resistance of said sensor on a physical quantity to be measured in response to the action of said physical quantity, said resistance sensor being fed with a supply signal, the arrangement comprising a signal processing circuit having an input for receiving said measuring effect signal and an output, said signal processing circuit including switch-capacitor structures operating by the principle of quantized charge transport and establishing a charge balance by opposite integration of measuring charge packets dependent on said measuring effect signal and compensation charge packets independent of said measuring effect signal, and means the signal processing circuit furnishing at its output an analog output signal corresponding to the integration result, and said feeding of said resistance sensor with said supply signal being influenced by a feedback signal coupled from the output of said processing circuit to said resistance sensor which is in fixed relationship to said analog output signal to obtain said charge balance.
