"passed" is a verb (in past tense), but the verb in this sentence (or clause,
as "occur" is also a verb in a different clause of the sentence) is "wraps".
"past" is, among other things, a preposition and it tells the position, with
respect to the object ("the maximum value"), where the verb (wrapping)
happens.

So "past" is correct, not "passed".
