| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for power resource protection. The apparatus may comprise a platform power protection circuit to monitor an electric current over a platform input line, the electric current received on the platform input line from a current source, and an alert signal is output from a comparator when current output is determined to exceed a current threshold. The apparatus may further include logic to assert a control signal to reduce power consumption in one or more platform components coupled to the platform input line when the alert signal is received. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed. |
