Galvanic corrosion of an external electrode of a physiological signal sensor (e.g., ECG sensor) can be reduced. In some examples, protective circuitry, such as a switching circuit, can be used to reduce galvanic corrosion. In a first mode of operation (e.g., corresponding to measurement by the physiological signal sensor), the switching circuit can provide a low-impedance path (e.g., from an external electrode to ground). In a second mode of operation (e.g., corresponding to non-measurement by the physiological sensing system), the switching circuit can provide a high-impedance path to reduce leakage currents (e.g., between the external electrode and ground), and thereby reduce galvanic corrosion.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a signal processing circuit and a signal processing method. The signal processing circuit may include a control circuit, a switch circuit, an analog circuit, and at least two signal acquisition circuits. The at least two signal acquisition circuits may be configured to acquire at least two-channel target signals. The switch circuit may be configured to control conduction between the at least two signal acquisition circuits and the analog circuit, so that the target signal acquired by a part of the at least two signal acquisition circuits may be transmitted to the analog circuit at the same time. The analog circuit may be configured to process the received target signal. The control circuit may be configured to receive the processed target signal and sample the processed target signal.

Detecting user contact with one or more electrodes of a physiological signal sensor can be used to ensure physiological signals measured by the physiological signal sensor meet waveform characteristics (e.g., of a clinically accurate physiological signal). In some examples, a mobile and/or wearable device can comprise sensing circuitry, stimulation circuitry, and processing circuitry. The stimulation circuit can drive one or more stimulation signals on one or more electrodes, the resulting signal(s) can be measured (e.g., by the sensing circuitry), and the processing circuitry can determine whether a user is in contact with the electrode(s).
