Amount of transistors

Slawa

Hi

 Probably my question is too elementary but nevertheless.
How to define an amount of transistors in the project?

 

Regards

Slawa

    Hi Slawa,

    I don't really understand what your question means. What would it mean to "define an amount of transistors"?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,
    I meant as to count a total amount of transistors in the project

    Hi Slawa,

    You could write a bit of SKILL code to traverse the hierarchy and count them. Or you could netlist the entire design and send it to a simulator such as spectre/aps or ultrasim which will give you a circuit inventory at the state.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     Thanks for the help

     

    Best regards,

     also every Simulator reports a device statisic

    e.g. for Spectre

                 Circuit inventory:
                  nodes 305
                bsim3v3 305  
              bsource_1 2    
              bsource_2 2    
              bsource_3 2    
              capacitor 4    
                isource 1    
               resistor 4    
                vsource 7
