Abstract
A circuit for generating an output signal, which depends on a physical useful quantity includes means for detecting the physical useful quantity, wherein the means for detecting is arranged to generate an output signal, which depends on the physical useful quantity, a control signal for the means for detecting and, with an unchanged control signal, on an external control quantity. The circuit further includes sensor means for detecting the external disturbing quantity and for providing a sensor signal, which depends on the external disturbing quantity and means for processing the sensor signal to influence the control signal dependent on the sensor signal such that the influence of the external disturbing quantity on the output signal is reduced.
