Transistor count (dumb question)

CSCNalu
CSCNalu over 1 year ago

Hi

I'm wondering if there's a way to get the transistor/device count using the tools?  I vaguely remember a colleague out of curiosity looking it up and seeing that someone had cleverly looked at an LVS report to get the device count but neither of us can remember what was done.  This is a curiosity but any ideas would be appreciated.

Using Assura and PVS (depending on the nodes) mostly Assura; I'm looking at the CLS file and it looks like it might be it but its counts are way off (at least at the chip level)

    This might help: How can I find the total number of primitive components in my design?
