Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An 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 output an alert signal 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.
