Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device comprising a slider with a resistive temperature detector with a first resistance, a resistance detection circuit electrically coupled to the first resistance and comprising a low and high frequency path corresponding to a DC and AC mode, respectively, and one or more processing devices configured to: bias the first resistance with a voltage bias, where the first resistance is coupled to a first and second amplifier, control a pulse generator to add a bias pulse on the HF path to generate a HF resistance detection signal, where the second amplifier is biased using the voltage bias and the bias pulse, control a clock to chop a LF signal at the first amplifier on the LF path, demodulate the chopped LF signal to generate a LF resistance detection signal, and concurrently process the HF and LF resistance detection signals.
