Fully differential operational amplifier common mode current sensing feedback

A method and apparatus for sensing a common mode feedback current are provided. The common mode feedback current may flow through a common mode resistive divider of a piezoresistive bridge. A first current mirror mirrors the common mode feedback current and provides a first mirrored common mode current. A current aggregation stage receives the first mirrored common mode current and determines a bridge current of the piezoresistive bridge based on the first mirrored common mode feedback current. A second current mirror may be used to mirror the first current mirror before determining the bridge current.
