can we attach technology file to verilog-AMS design

Hai all 

I am new to cadence and verilog-AMS i am trying to design ADC circuit completely in verilog-AMS description.

i have a doubt that whether we can attach technology file(65nm or 180nm) to this design codes and get the power consumption of the circuit .if any one says yes we can then tell me how to attach the technology file and get the power data

I am using virtuoso dfII environment (IC6.150

i am sorry if i have posted in the wrong forum

thank you in advance for any help

    You could update your models to call the $pwr task (this is a Cadence extension to the Verilog-AMS language) to specify how much power they take. But other than that, unless your models actually model power somehow, attaching a technology (whatever that means in this context) isn't going to help.

    You need some idea of the implementation to be able to compute the power.

    Kind regards,

    Andrew.
