A microcontroller is configured to interfaces with one or more dual in line memory modules (DIMMs) over an I2C bus and with a memory controller. The microcontroller efficiently retrieves configuration information from the DIMMs and provides it to the memory controller. During system power-up or reset, the memory configuration information, including power consumption parameters, is loaded by the microcontroller into the memory controller. The memory controller utilizes the power consumption parameters to control the rate at which built-in self test (BIST) operations are performed by the DIMMs, thereby conserving power.
