Abstract:
Embodiments relate to circuitry and methods for determining and providing a mechanical stress level signal, including at least one bipolar junction transistor, wherein the circuitry is arranged to determine a first mechanical stress level based on a current gain of the at least one bipolar junction transistor, to determine a second mechanical stress level based on the current gain of the at least one bipolar junction transistor, and to provide the mechanical stress level signal based on the first mechanical stress level and the second mechanical stress level.

Claim (Index 4):
The stress sensor according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the at least one bipolar junction transistor comprises a first bipolar junction transistor having the first current gain and a second bipolar junction transistor having the second current gain, the processing circuit is configured to measure currents at at least two of three terminals of a first bipolar junction transistor, and the processing circuit is configured to determine the first mechanical stress level from the measured currents of the at least two of three terminals of the first bipolar junction transistor, and the processing circuit is configured to measure currents at a same respective two terminals of a second bipolar junction transistor or to measure currents at two different respective terminals out of three terminals of the second bipolar junction transistor, and the processing circuit is configured to determine the second mechanical stress level from the measured currents of the same two respective terminals of the second bipolar junction transistor or from the measured currents of the two different respective terminals out of the three terminals of the second bipolar junction transistor.
