Abstract

A method of sensor wire count reduction including receiving, from a sensor array comprising a first sensor, a second sensor, the third sensor, a first binary indication of sensor state for the first sensor a second binary indication of sensor state for the second sensor, and a third binary indication of sensor state for the third sensor. The method further includes setting a first voltage in response to the first binary indication of sensor state for the first sensor and the second binary indication of sensor state for the second sensor, determining a first indication comprising whether the fist voltage is within a first range, determining a second indication comprising whether the first voltage is within a second range, and determining a third indication comprising whether the first voltage is within a third range.
