how to annotate the current in to a pin ?

DanySF

 I have IC5 and I want to know if it is possible to annotate DC (op) current that flow in to a pin.

For example I have a BGP cell with a symbol that have VDD pin.

I want to see in the schematic the DC voltage on that net (ex: 1.8V) and also the DC current that flow in there (ex: 105uA).

It is possible ?

 

Thanks.

    Thanks SharksFan.

    Indeed I am using ADE.

    The solution with a DC voltage source in series with VDD pin I used before but I was not happy because sometime I forget to remove it and the layout guy complain that the schematic is not correct.

    In fact I am searching for a solution that do not require any additional component to be inserted.

    I tried your suggestion (Component Display) but nothing is annotate in schematic for currents.

    For voltages it is working and I see the correct values.

    But for currents nothing ! I have to add something special to the symbol ?? like a cdsTerm label ??

    For example the MOS symbol show the "Id" current and other stuff but there is a different  label : cdsParam(1).

    I tried even with all currents saved (ADE->Outputs->Save all..).  No success.

    other ideas ?
