1. An integrated circuit (IC) chip comprising a processor-based system, the processor-based system configured to:
receive, from an input source circuit of the processor-based system, an input telemetry value;
convert the input telemetry value into a common format telemetry value, wherein a first unit value represented by a least significant bit of the common format telemetry value is greater than one (1) and is based on a quotient of a power of two (2) and a corresponding power of 10; and
process the common format telemetry value, wherein:
the input telemetry value comprises an input power telemetry value; and
the common format telemetry value comprises a common format power telemetry value;
the input power telemetry value and the common format power telemetry value each represent a measurement of one of capacitance, electric charge, energy, and current,
and wherein the processor-based system is further configured to process the common format telemetry value by being configured to:
aggregate the common format power telemetry value into an aggregated power telemetry value; and
generate a power limiting management response to cause power consumption to be throttled in the IC chip based on the aggregated power telemetry value.
