Abstract

An embodiment may comprise a counter to provide a count value, enable logic coupled with the counter, and circuitry coupled with the enable logic, the circuitry to be powered up or down if the counter value is outside of a resonance bandwidth for the circuitry to be powered up or down. An embodiment may comprise a method of initializing a counter while circuitry is placed in a standby mode, reading the counter, and powering up the circuitry if the counter does not indicate a resonance bandwidth. An embodiment may be a system comprising a device including a power delivery network to deliver power, a link coupled with the device, the link to electrically communicate with the device, and control circuitry coupled with the link, the control circuitry to limit the link from powering up or down at a resonant frequency of the power delivery network.
