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.

    As I said before, the symbol view of BGP needs to be edited such that the VDD pin on which you wish to see the annotation has an ILLabel added with the Label field filled in as cdsTerm("VDD").  Once the symbol is edited, within ADE you then use Results>Annotate>DC Node Voltages after a simulation to see the voltage at the pin.  Without the cdsTerm added, you will not get the terminal information, just as you experienced.  The current will be available too, just as I outlined, once you edit the symbol as I have indicated.
