The present disclosure relates to a circuit and a method for carrying out an alternating heating and capacitive measuring operation by means of a common heating wire, comprising the following steps: carrying out a heating operation, during which a pair of first switching elements and a pair of second switching elements are in a conducting state and the heating wire is conductively connected to one of two different heating potentials such that a heating current is applied to the heating wire; initiating a change from heating operation to measuring operation of the first switching elements and the second switching elements by way of a control circuit; carrying out the measuring operation in which a measuring capacitance of the heating wire is determined with respect to a reference potential by way of a detection circuit; and carrying out a test phase falling within the time frame of the measuring operation.
