Abstract
An example method includes detecting an event in an electronic system. The electronic system includes an electronic component and a switched mode power supply. The electronic component draws an amount of power from the switched mode power supply during operation. In response to detecting the event, the electronic component is operated to cause the electronic component to change the amount of power that the electronic component draws from the switched mode power supply. The change in the amount of power that the electronic component draws causes the switched mode power supply to output a signal that is evidence of the event.
