1. A wireless device, comprising:

  • a battery;

    an antenna coupled to the battery; and

    an integrated circuit package coupled to the antenna and the battery, the integrated circuit package including;

    a semiconductor die;

    an active circuit in the semiconductor die;

    a temperature sensor in the semiconductor die, the temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the active circuit;

    a heating element configured to heat the active circuit; and

    a temperature controller configured to receive temperature data from the temperature sensor and data regarding a level of use of the active circuit from the active circuit, and to cause the heating element to heat the active circuit to maintain the temperature of the active circuit above a minimum threshold temperature and below a maximum threshold temperature based on the temperature data received from the temperature sensor and the data regarding the level of use of the active circuit received from the active circuit.
