Abstract
A sensor system including a clock generation module, a sensor, a conditioning module, and an output module. The clock generation module is configured to generate a modulation signal and an output sampling signal. The modulation signal has a modulation frequency, and the sampling signal has a sampling frequency. The sensor is configured to generate an output signal having an output value. The output signal is modulated by the modulation signal, and the output value includes a sensor output value and an offset value. The conditioning module is configured to receive the output signal, condition the output signal, and generate a conditioned output signal including the sensor output value and the offset value. The output module is configured to receive the conditioned output signal and the output sampling signal. The output sampling signal is operable to sample the conditioned output signal at a value that corresponds to the sensor output value.
