Cadence Cross Online

Using the cross() function effectively requires careful setup of your Cadence Virtuoso environment.

: Tracks variations in crossing times over many cycles to evaluate signal stability. cadence cross

: 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). : Calculates the duration between two crossing points (e

: Calculates the duration between two crossing points (e.g., 10% to 90% of the signal swing). : Designers can specify if they want to

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

: You define a specific voltage or current level (e.g., 0.5V for logic switching).

: 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).
