Amount of transistors

Slawa over 14 years ago

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

Regards

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

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.

Andrew.

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
