A method and a device determine an operating temperature of a semiconductor component during operation, wherein the semiconductor component has a PROM memory area which can be read from the outside. The device further has a programming device for programming the PROM memory area of the semiconductor component in which the operating temperature is obtained by interpolation in between a first calibration temperature value and a second calibration temperature value in dependence from an actual measurement. The device has a multivibrator for generating a measurement signal which has a measuring circuit and a driver circuit. The frequency of the measurement signal depends on the temperature of the measuring circuit in the semiconductor component. A frequency counter for senses the frequency of the measurement signal in a predefined measuring interval.
