**Keywords:** power consumption



===== Introduction =====

example using a simple CMOS inverter testbench (P = 1/2CV^2 Vdd is a well known result) 

//P<sub>avg</sub> = V<sub>DD</sub> x I<sub>avg</sub>//


<code>
VAR("Vdd")*average(IT("/Mx/D"))
</code>

===== Testbench schematic =====

create a CMOS inverter schematic as described in the CMOS inverter tutorial



===== Simulation setups =====

**ADE L => Outputs => Save All..**
