Integrated circuit having a secured power supply

The circuit has a linear regulator (4`) for supplying a DC supply voltage (Vdd) to an internal load (29) from an external voltage (Vps). Chopper type capacitive clipping supply circuits (5), with switched capacitances, are in parallel with the activated linear regulator. The circuits supply current at the same time as the linear regulator, during an operation phase (D) of the integrated circuit which corresponds to a phase in which a calculating processor which contains the internal load is active.. An independent claim is also included for a method for scrambling the current signature of a load including an integrated circuit.
