Abstract
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) to generate a supply voltage for a memory module. The PMIC is to perform a measurement during bring-up of the memory module of a worst case current draw of the memory module and/or corresponding droop in the supply voltage. The PMIC is to apply a step-up to the supply voltage in accordance with the measurement in response to detection by the PMIC of a surge in the memory module's current draw during operation of the memory module.
