Abstract: An electrical circuit can bias a sensor, measure current from a sensor, or both of these. In some examples, the electrical circuit can include a comparator having two input terminals and an output terminal. The comparator can be configured to compare input signals applied to the two input terminals and generate an output signal at the output terminal based on the comparison. The electrical circuit can include a switch having a control terminal that is electrically coupled to the output terminal of the comparator. The switch can also include a first connection terminal that is electrically coupled to the sensor and a second connection terminal that is electrically coupled to a charge-packet source. The switch can be switchable between (i) an open state to electrically decouple the sensor from the charge-packet source, and (ii) a closed state to electrically couple the sensor to the charge-packet source.
