power calculation

[vicky]

hi friends,
how do i find the current flowing in the circuit in cadence IC
5.1. i am facing a problem when i try to make a symbol of the
schematic and select the vdd net, it select the vdd pin of the
schematic, so i am unable to get the correct result. and when i try
to selcet all the current flowing through the PMOS in my circuit
which are huge in number, i am unable tyo display the current
waveform in the waveform window. can anyone help me in suggesting a
way to calculate power of the circuit.

Check out the tutorial I made a long time ago on power calculation
below.

Hope this helps.
