Abstract
A fingerprint sensor comprising a plurality of electrically conductive sensing structures arranged in a sensing plane for capacitively sensing a fingerprint of a finger; and measurement circuitry coupled to the plurality of electrically conductive sensing structures for providing measurement signals indicative of a capacitive coupling between each sensing structure in the plurality of electrically conductive sensing structures and the finger, wherein the measurement circuitry is arranged to: provide, using a first measurement circuitry configuration, a first set of measurement signals from a first set of sensing structures; and provide, using a second measurement circuitry configuration different from the first measurement circuitry configuration, a second set of measurement signals from a second set of sensing structures.
