Abstract
A sensor includes an analog front end having a circuit element responsive to a clock signal and a clock generating circuit configured to generate the clock signal having blanking time periods during which the clock signal is held at a constant level, wherein the circuit element is not operational during the blanking time periods. The blanking time periods correspond to time periods during which transitions of a common mode input voltage to the sensor are expected to occur.
