Abstract: An apparatus is provided, comprising: a first circuitry configured to generate a signal at a voltage level for one or more components; a second circuitry configured to generate a clock at a frequency level for the one or more components; a third circuitry configured to intermittently measure a current level of the signal; a fourth circuitry configured to estimate a first average of the current level of the signal over a first time-window; and a fifth circuitry configured to, in response to the first average being higher than a threshold average current, facilitate regulating one or both the voltage level of the signal or the frequency level of the clock.
