Power Analysis in spectre

[soumik]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to measure power dissipation in a circuit with spectre.
Also calculate rise / fall times etc. How would I do that?
In general, what is the equivalent of the .MEAS statement of spice in
spectre?
( I am used to HSPICE ).

I could not find much in the user guide / reference manuals. Only
OCEAN had ways to do it.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
soumik.

Read up on SpectreMDL (there's a manual for it) - note this is available from
IC50 onwards.

MDL is spectre's Measurement Description Language.

Or you can do this kind of thing with OCEAN.

Regards,

Andrew.
