Claim 9:
10. An electronic device comprising:
a controller to:
determine an output mode of configuration pin of a power adaptor coupled to the electronic device to determine whether a user touch is detected by the power adaptor;
determine that the user touch is detected by the power adaptor when a configuration pin of the power adaptor is operating in a low output mode, wherein the power adaptor comprises a proximity sensor to detect a user touch on the power adaptor, and wherein the power adaptor comprises a control circuit to operate the configuration pin in the low output mode in response to the user touch detection; and
in response to determining the user touch detection, initiate central processing unit (CPU) throttling to reduce power consumption by the electronic device.
