Cross | Cadence

The cross() function is primarily used within the Cadence Calculator to detect the precise time a signal passes a defined value.

💡 : While the cross() function is powerful for single points, it is often combined with other functions like delay() to build complex automated verification scripts. cadence cross

: Designers can specify if they want to find rising edges, falling edges, or both. Occurrence Number : You can find the nthn raised to the t h power time a signal crosses a value (e.g., the 5th rising edge). The cross() function is primarily used within the

: You define a specific voltage or current level (e.g., 0.5V for logic switching). Occurrence Number : You can find the nthn

: Calculates the duration between two crossing points (e.g., 10% to 90% of the signal swing).

: The tool uses linear interpolation between simulation data points; for high precision, use a smaller time step in your transient analysis.

: It is often used to "unwrap" periodic waveforms by finding cycle crossing points. Practical Applications in Design
