Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A data processing system, comprising:
a plurality of memory accessing agents;
a memory controller adapted to be coupled to an external memory for controlling accesses to said external memory using a corresponding memory access protocol;
a data fabric for coupling said plurality of memory accessing agents to said memory controller; and
a droop detector coupled to said memory controller for detecting a droop in a power supply voltage of the data processing system below a droop threshold and provides a droop signal in response,
wherein said data processing system throttles an operation of the data processing system according to a programmable step size, a programmable assertion time, and a programmable de-assertion time specified by an output of one or more throttle registers in response to detecting said droop.
