1. A method for power consumption control in an electronic system, the method comprising:
comparing a voltage of a voltage rail coupled between a power management system and the electronic system to a power consumption trigger voltage;
based on the voltage of the voltage rail being below the power consumption trigger voltage, increasing power consumption by the electronic system to reduce the voltage of the voltage rail during a power down of the electronic system;
detecting that a voltage output by a power source which is provided as an input to the power management system is at a nominal voltage after increasing the power consumption; and
based on the detection, providing a regulated voltage to the voltage rail to power up the electronic system.
