Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for sensing. One example apparatus for sensing includes a sensor configured to supply a current indicative of a parameter and a bipolar transistor having a base coupled to the sensor to receive the current, the bipolar transistor being configured to generate an amplified current based on the current. The apparatus may also include a measurement circuit coupled to the bipolar transistor and configured receive the amplified current.
