How can I measure power consumed by a digital cmos circuit

[asmit]

Hi,

I'm trying to measure the power consumed by a cmos digital circuit. Can anyone please give me the steps to do that?

I have already created a simple XOR circuit using basic CMOS gates. I understand that I can measure the power by conecting a wattmeter, but how exactly do I connect it to my circuit?

Please help.

Hi Asmit,

Digital parts in Multisim behave base on on/off and there are pin drivers at the gate input/output pins to drive a high or low logic to the appropriate voltage level. The model doesn't provide you with power consumption.
