: 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).
: You define a specific voltage or current level (e.g., 0.5V for logic switching).
: It is often used to "unwrap" periodic waveforms by finding cycle crossing points. Practical Applications in Design
: Measures the time difference between an input crossing a threshold and an output doing the same.
The cross() function is primarily used within the Cadence Calculator to detect the precise time a signal passes a defined value.
: Calculates the duration between two crossing points (e.g., 10% to 90% of the signal swing).
Using the cross() function effectively requires careful setup of your Cadence Virtuoso environment.
: Identifies when a signal finally stays within a "cross" window of its final value. Tips for Accurate Results
