[Moved]: Caluclating power consumption in cadence spectre

[ravikiranjaladi]

Hi all, I am trying to caluclate the power consumption of a continuous time current mode current mirror circuit in cadence spectre. Can anyone help me with the process of caluclating it. Thank you...

Re: Caluclating power consumption in cadence spectre

It's quite simple. Plot the current drawn by the mirror from the supply and multiply it by the power supply. For a current mirror you can even do it with a dc analysis and display the current id on the device. Multiply that by VDD and that is your power consumption.
