In a method for operating a plurality of optical sensors, each of the optical sensors is sequentially coupled to a shared input of a receiver. When electrically coupling a given one of the optical sensors to the shared input, at least one other of the optical sensors is shunted to ground. Apparatus that may be used to implement the method is provided with a plurality of optical sensors, and a receiver having a shared input. Each of a first plurality of switches couples one of the optical sensors to the shared input of the receiver. Each of a second plurality of switches shunts one of the optical sensors to ground.
