1. An apparatus comprising:

  • logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in hardware, the logic to;

    send a first control signal to a component of a computing device based on a detection that a voltage level has fallen below a first voltage threshold, the first control signal to include an indication to take a first action to reduce electric power;

    send a second control signal to the component based on a detection that the voltage level has risen above the first voltage threshold and a debounce period has expired, the second control signal to include an indication to undo the first action; and

    send a third control signal to the component based on a detection that the voltage level has fallen below a second voltage threshold lower than the first voltage threshold, the third control signal to include an indication to take a second action to reduce electric power;

    the first action to reduce an amount of electric power consumed by the component while enabling the component to provide first feature and the second action to reduce an amount of electric power consumed by the component while disabling the component to provide the first feature.
