Cadence Cross ❲Quick❳

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

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

: Use the cycle and time options within the function to handle periodic signals without manual counting. cadence cross

Engineers rely on this function to automate measurements that would be impossible to pinpoint manually.

: Calculates the duration between two crossing points (e.g., 10% to 90% of the signal swing). : The tool uses linear interpolation between simulation

: 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).

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

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