: Use the cycle and time options within the function to handle periodic signals without manual counting.
: It is often used to "unwrap" periodic waveforms by finding cycle crossing points. Practical Applications in Design
: Identifies when a signal finally stays within a "cross" window of its final value. Tips for Accurate Results cadence cross
: 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. : Use the cycle and time options within
The cross() function is primarily used within the Cadence Calculator to detect the precise time a signal passes a defined value.
: Measures the time difference between an input crossing a threshold and an output doing the same. Tips for Accurate Results : Calculates the duration
Using the cross() function effectively requires careful setup of your Cadence Virtuoso environment.
