Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems may provide a sensor to monitor a power consumption of a non-volatile random access memory (RAM) and a volatile RAM. A switch, connected to an output of the sensor, controls power to the non-volatile RAM, and a voltage regulator regulates a voltage of the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM. One or more memory slots receive the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM, and a processor receives information from the sensor, and controls the voltage regulator based on the received information. The voltage regulator comprises a plurality of registers to store power consumption information of the non-volatile RAM and the volatile RAM.
