Dear all,

I need to feed a sample circuit with a number of random inputs (say for example 1000 input patterns) and then obtain a power trace (power consumed by the circuit during applying the input patterns). As the test circuit may not be small or the number of input patterns may be high, i don't want to use Hspice as it may take a long time. So I want to use Synopsys design compiler or SoC encounter tools to do this. I think such work is possible in both tools but i don't know how to do it. Please some help me. Thanks.
 

do a simulation of the circuit using the inputs you want. then use encounter to do a power estimation. typically you would use a vcd file for this purpose.

Thanks for your reply. I check it.
