Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a first set of inverters configured to receive a first set of check bits, and to generate a second set of check bits, a first memory cell array including a first portion of memory cells configured to store a first set of data, and a second portion of memory cells configured to store the second set of check bits, a second set of inverters to receive a third set of check bits, and to generate a fourth set of check bits, and an error correction code decoder configured to detect or correct an error in a second set of data or the fourth set of check bits thereby generating a set of output data and a been-attacked signal. The second set of data corresponds to the first set of data. The been-attacked signal indicates a reset attack by a user.
