I need to extract the power consumption trace of my circuit in Design Compiler using a VCD file. I know that I can extract an estimation of power consumption using the Saif file. However, this provides me with a single scalar value. What I need is a power trace over time and not just an average value. How can I extract such thing from Synopsys DC (if possible)?
Thanks for your reply. I don't exactly know if I have access to PrimeTime or not in my server system which I use. What is the command to run PrimeTime?
well, there was no problem to be solved. you need to use the right tool for the job. that's all. ask around in your institution/company what tools are available to you.
