How to find quickly the instances with largest current?

Hi,

especially for leakage checks I need this, but I wonder what I am doing is the best way:

1. I run DcOp with save all

2. I use the Results Browser to plot all currents, e.g. below the /DUT/.

3. I click to the top current, to see which instance name it is. Then I search this in the schematic.

Can I do better, e.g. initially I though the Circuit condition tool can help, but if you have a mixed pdk with e.g. 1.2V mos modeled in EKV, but power mos in bsim, then you need many checks which make it uncomfortable.

I also did not managed to simply get all dcop currents printed, e.g. in the spectre.out file, oppoint=yes does not help.

Bye Stephan
