: Tracks variations in crossing times over many cycles to evaluate signal stability.
: Calculates the duration between two crossing points (e.g., 10% to 90% of the signal swing). cadence cross
: It is often used to "unwrap" periodic waveforms by finding cycle crossing points. Practical Applications in Design : Tracks variations in crossing times over many
The cross() function is primarily used within the Cadence Calculator to detect the precise time a signal passes a defined value. Practical Applications in Design The cross() function is
: If the function fails to find a point, ensure your threshold is actually within the signal's range (e.g., don't look for a 1V cross in a 0.8V signal).
: You define a specific voltage or current level (e.g., 0.5V for logic switching).
: Use the cycle and time options within the function to handle periodic signals without manual counting.
