How can I simulate both read and write operation of SRAM in Cadence Virtuoso and check the average power across different temperatures.
yes, you can, you have to provide input waveform according to read write and hold mode.
same thing I had performed in HSPICE, you can refer my paper, any problem feel free to ask me
Dear Santosh,
You can apply the required control signals on the memory to address it , wright and read it with a given data and then all what do you need is to add a current probe at the output wire from the power supply of the circuit say this current will be iDD(t).
Then you can easily calculate the power dissipated by Pavg=( integral iDD(t) VDD dt )/ T obs where T is the measuring time which must be made multiple wright read cycles. The simulator measures also the dissipated power Pavg of the circuit directly.
Best wishes
