measuring node transient current

yefJ

Hello, when i tried doing direct plot and wanted to measure the node current sighed in blue arrow.

but it says that i should choose a terminal( i tried to put a port in between and hoose it) but still its not working.

where did i go wrong?

Thanks

  • You can't plot the current on a node (net). It makes no sense, because a node/net is the connection between a set of terminals. Current flows through terminals onto the common net, but the net only has potential.

    So you should just be able to probe the source/drain terminal of one of the transistors connecting onto that net to see the current flow. You will have needed to save the current though too because currents are not saved by default unless you ask for them to be saved.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
