Abstract
A heating circuit is provided. The heating circuit is disposed in a chip which has a normal operation temperature range. The heating circuit includes a comparison circuit and a thermal-energy generation circuit. The comparison circuit compares a temperature voltage with a first threshold voltage. The temperature voltage represents a temperature of the chip. The thermal-energy generation circuit is controlled by the comparison circuit. When the temperature voltage is less than the first threshold voltage, the comparison circuit enables the thermal-energy generation circuit to generate thermal energy to raise the temperature of the chip.
