A method for heating an integrated circuit (ic) can be a measuring a temperature of the ics, a comparing the measured temperature with a reference temperature and the generation of a comparison signal; and an activation of a heating element, the the ic is heated on the basis of the comparison signal have. An integrated circuit can have a temperature sensor, which is configured in such a way that it measures a temperature of the ics, the measured temperature with a reference temperature and compares a reference signal is generated. The ic can be a heating element, which is configured in such a way that it can be activated by the ic based on the comparison signal to be heated. An integrated circuit can have a heating element and a temperature sensor. The sensor can be configured in such a way that it measures a temperature of the ic and a control signal based on the measured temperature and generates a reference temperature. The element on the basis of the control signal can be activated in order to heat the ic, or the heating of the ics can be deactivated.
