Abstract:
A sensing system includes: a transmitter circuitry configured to transmit drive signals to N sensors, N being a positive integer; N receiver circuitries configured to receive in parallel N sense signals generated in response to the drive signals by N sensors, N being a positive integer; N modulation circuitries configured to modulate outputs of the N receiver circuitries; a mixer circuitry configured to mix outputs of the N modulation circuitries; an A/D converter circuitry configured to receive an output of the mixer circuitry; and a demodulation circuitry. The demodulation circuitry is configured to demodulate an output of the A/D converter circuitry to generate N digital sense values corresponding to the N sense signals.
