The cross() function is primarily used within the Cadence Calculator to detect the precise time a signal passes a defined value.
: Measures the time difference between an input crossing a threshold and an output doing the same. cadence cross
: The tool uses linear interpolation between simulation data points; for high precision, use a smaller time step in your transient analysis. The cross() function is primarily used within the
: 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). for high precision
Engineers rely on this function to automate measurements that would be impossible to pinpoint manually.
