Abstract

In one set of embodiments, a circuit may be implemented to deliver accurately ratioed currents to a remotely located semiconductor device that has a substantially non-linear input-output characteristic that varies with temperature and is subject to effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI). The circuit may be configured to use common mode rejection by establishing an identical impedance at each of the two terminals of the remotely located semiconductor device, in lieu of coupling shunting capacitor(s) across the terminals, in order to reject EMI signals while performing temperature measurements using the remotely located semiconductor device. This may facilitate maintaining fast sampling times when performing temperature measurements, while providing a more effective method for handling EMI induced currents that may lead to temperature measurement errors, thereby eliminating those errors.
