Finding leakage current paths

mhkvy4
mhkvy4 over 3 years ago

Hello,

I am using Virtuoso's 6.1.8 release. I am simulating a circuit to find possible leakage current paths in it when the power supplies are connected but various parts of the circuit are disabled through enable/disable signals. I am running a DC sim to find the  total current sunk from my voltage source. Is there a way to annotate or trace through the hierarchy of the circuit to find where most of this current is being sunk and through which devices?

    Why don't you just save all of the currents and use the calculator? If your symbols have cdsTerm labels you can also annotate the DC current from the operating point.
