Current probing

analogy

Although one can probe voltage in av_extracted, is there a way to probe currents in extracted view ?

  • If you are using a config view to select the extracted view as the "view to use" and then simulating with that config view as the design, then you can descend down into the corresponding schematic and probe device terminals there. You can also probe the wires near the device terminals too (you'll see a big "X" drawn on the probe point) which allows you to probe the net near that device pin (for parasitic R or RC extracted nets). This is what we call "out of context probing".

    You can save currents (using the Outputs->To be Saved/Plotted menu) by selecting an instance in the extracted view - it will save or plot the currents from all pins of the device if you do this.

    I don't think you can probe an individual pin on the extracted view though. You'd probably have to resort to using the results browser for that (assuming you've saved it).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
