Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a harmonic oscillator circuit, a first switch circuit configured to cause an oscillating state of the harmonic oscillator circuit to switch between an 'on' state and an 'off' state, a detector circuit configured to produce a voltage responsive to an amplitude of the oscillating output of the harmonic oscillator circuit, a decision circuit configured to detect whether the voltage produced by the detector circuit exceeds a threshold in synchronization with a clock signal, and a second switch circuit configured to control whether or not to apply noise from a noise source to the harmonic oscillator circuit.
