A technique usable with a computer includes in response to the computer being in a predetermined sleep state, coupling a load to conduct current from a supply voltage plane of the computer to ground. The supply voltage plane does not receive power from a power resource of the computer in response to the predetermined sleep state. In response to the computer being in a predetermined state other than the predetermined sleep state, the load is decoupled so that the load does not conduct current from the supply voltage plane to ground.
