Claim:
1. A sensor arrangement comprising a first sensor element for converting a physical quantity into a first electrical signal, said first sensor element having a first sensitivity and said first sensor element being operatively coupled between terminals of said sensor arrangement, and at least a second sensor element for converting said physical quantity into a second electrical signal, said second sensor element having a second sensitivity different from said first sensitivity, said second sensor element being operatively connected between said terminals of said sensor arrangement via a temperature controlled switching element so that in a first state of said temperature controlled switching element, said second electrical signal combines with said first electrical signal to form a sensor output signal, and in a second state of said temperature controlled switching element, a contribution of said second electrical signal to said sensor output signal is substantially reduced with respect to a respective contribution in said first state of said temperature controlled switching element.
