May i know how to do an estimate of a circuit in cadence. I am designing a DAC using cadence and would like to measure the power consumption of the same.
Normally, designer needs to worry about average (DC) power which is dissipated by the circuit. Signal power is typically seen in terms of measuring efficiency not as dissipation. Also, its not seen as a characteristic of the circuit because it will change as the input pattern changes.
One quick question, should I be measuing the Avg power or the RMS power?? What I mean to ask is whether I should use the RMS current or avg current while calculating the product of V and I.
I think the avg current should be used, it is not?
