Accessing power dissipation in a Verilog module

vksinghal

Hi,

I want to write a Verilog-A module in which I use the instantaneous-power-consumption of another module (a subcircuit, say called "DUT") as a variable.  How can I do that?

"DUT" is somewhat complex, so it will be preferable for me to make use of the buit-in "DUT:pwr" or some such expression if possible, rather than sum the instantaneous V*I of all terminals of DUT.

Regards,

Vipul

    I don't think this is possible (certainly not using the DUT:pwr approach). You could measure the current into the supply pin of that instance and use that, maybe?
