Cross: Cadence

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

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

: 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).

: Identifies when a signal finally stays within a "cross" window of its final value. Tips for Accurate Results : It is often used to "unwrap" periodic

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

Engineers rely on this function to automate measurements that would be impossible to pinpoint manually. : If the function fails to find a

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