Abstract
A sensor arrangement for light sensing and temperature sensing comprises a first sensor input () for connecting a temperature sensor () and a second sensor input () for connecting a light sensor (), in particular an ambient light sensor. A sensor switch (S) electrically connects either the first or the second sensor input () to an integration input () of an integrating analog-to-digital converter (). A reference circuit () connects to the integration input () via a first switch (S). A first reference input () of the integrating analog-to-digital converter () is to be connected with a first reference potential (Vb). A counter () connects to an integration output () of the integrating analog-to-digital converter (). And a controller unit () connects to the counter () and is designed to control the first switch (S) depending on an integrated sensor signal (Vout) integrated by the integrating analog-to-digital converter ().
