  • Patent number: 11125586
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement has a current mirror structure that is configured to provide respective base currents at each of a plurality of output current paths based on an input current. For each of the output current paths, a respective adjustment current source is provided that is digitally controllable and is connected to the respective output current path for adjusting the base current of said output current path. For each of the output current paths, a current biased sensor element is coupled in said output current path. The sensor arrangement further has a selection element for selectively connecting one of the output current paths to an evaluation block based on a selection signal. The evaluation block is configured to generate a sensing value corresponding to a resulting current in the connected output current path, to compare the sensing value with an average value, and to update the average value based on the sensing value.
