BASE RESISTANCE CANCELLATION METHOD AND RELATED METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES

Abstract:

Methods, systems and devices of the present disclosure involve techniques for cancelling base resistance error otherwise present in remote temperature sensors such as remote diode temperature sensors. In one or more embodiments, measurement logic configured to determine a temperature of or near a remote temperature sensor may be configured to determine an error cancelling coefficient and to calculate a temperature value, at least in part, responsive to the error cancelling coefficient. In some cases, error cancelling coefficients may be determined using one or more calibration techniques.
