Abstract

A semiconductor chip may include a memory, a power supply line, a noise generator and a switch. The power supply line may include first and second power supply line portions. The power supply line may be configured to provide a power supply signal through each of the first power supply line portion and the second power supply line portion. The noise generator may be connected to the second power supply line portion. The noise generator may be configured to receive the power supply signal from the second power supply line portion, and output a noisy power supply signal based on the power supply signal. The switch may be coupled to the memory, the first power supply line portion, and the noise generator. The switch may be configured to selectively electrically connect the memory to one of the first power supply line portion and the noise generator.
