A fingerprint sensing system comprising a device connection interface including a device reference potential input, a sensing arrangement, and sensing reference potential providing circuitry. The sensing arrangement includes multiple sensing structures and read-out circuitry connected to each of the sensing structures. The sensing reference potential providing circuitry provides a sensing reference potential to the sensing arrangement in the form of a sensing reference signal alternating between a first sensing reference potential and a second sensing reference potential, and comprises a first capacitor; a second capacitor; charging circuitry; and switching circuitry for alternatingly switching the sensing reference potential providing circuitry between a first state in which the first capacitor and the second capacitor are connected in parallel to the charging circuitry; and a second state in which the first capacitor and the second capacitor, when charged, are connected in series between the device reference potential input and the sensing arrangement.
