Measurement of current in rcx extracted simulation

Hi ,

 what is the best way to measure current flowing at a node of a transistor in the rcx extracted view .

do i need to create a probe point in layout ? 

 

Best Regards,

Ankur

    Hi Ankur

    You can do an out-of-context probing using the schematic view.

    - Create a config view for the testbench schematic
    - Run spectre sim using av_extracted view
    - From config view, descend into schematic view of the av_extracted view instance and do probing on the schematic

    Please refer to $CDSHOME/doc/paramsim/paramsim.pdf.


    Best regards
