Using the cross() function effectively requires careful setup of your Cadence Virtuoso environment.
: 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). cadence cross
: You define a specific voltage or current level (e.g., 0.5V for logic switching). 💡 : While the cross() function is powerful
💡 : While the cross() function is powerful for single points, it is often combined with other functions like delay() to build complex automated verification scripts. for high precision
: Use the cycle and time options within the function to handle periodic signals without manual counting.
: The tool uses linear interpolation between simulation data points; for high precision, use a smaller time step in your transient analysis.
