Abstract
For one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a node to couple one or more components to the integrated circuit to carry current through a package for the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit also includes a monitor to measure a resistance of the package based at least in part on a reference resistance of the package and a resistance of one or more components that are to carry current through the package. For another embodiment, current through one or more components that are to carry current through a package for an integrated circuit is controlled. A resistance of the package is measured based at least in part on a reference resistance of the package and a resistance of one or more components that are to carry current through the package.
