Displaying current through a pin

mhkvy4

I was trying to figure out how to display current flowing into a pin in Cadence. I need to calculate the total power dissipated by the circuit. 

I clicked on Outputs>To be saved and then clicked on the pins I was interested in. Where are the current values saved? And is there a way to display them for different schematic pins like for DC node voltages. 

I am also getting the following warning. 

WARNING (ADE-3022): Schematics of the following net names could not be mapped to
simulators. Ensure that the specified schematic names are valid.
/I7/vdd! /I12/vss!

  • psf is the directory where the results are saved - it contains a set of databases for each analysis. You asked where it was saved, so I said where it was saved.

    I don't know which version you're using, but one issue may be that your symbols may have been created with the wrong template. If they were not created with the "artist" or "analog" template, they may not have the cdsTerm() labels on the symbol which is used as the placeholder for where the currents (or voltages) are displayed.

    How to enable display of currents is somewhat version dependent. In IC616 and later, you can display the currents using an info balloon - when you hover over the instances, but I won't go through the explanation of how to do that unless I know which version you're using (use Help->About in any of the windows - please give the full version number). That's why we suggest providing that information in the forum guidelines (the pinned post at the top of each forum).
