Abstract:
1. An electronic semiconductor device for measuring and/or controlling a property of an analyte, the electronic semiconductor device comprising: an electrode, within the electronic semiconductor device, forming an interface with the analyte in which the electrode is immersed in operational use, the interface having an interface temperature (T), and a resistive heater, within the electronic semiconductor device, being capacitively coupled to the electrode, the resistive heater being configured for setting the interface temperature (T) based on a current passed through the resistive heater, wherein the electronic semiconductor device includes a signal integrity protection module for reducing the capacitive charging of the electrode by the resistive heater, wherein the resistive heater comprises two terminals and a conductive path between the terminals; and wherein the signal integrity protection further comprises a conductive shield, within the electronic semiconductor device, arranged between the resistive heater and the electrode, wherein the conductive shield is connected to a fixed reference potential.
