✦ Synopsis
The paper explains the theory and design of a semicustom integrated circuit (IC) for the generation of the optimum polarity of a given Boolean function. Given the minterm coefficients o:f a Boolean function, the chip computes the coefficienrs of all the fixed polarities of the generalized Reed-Muller expansions, and identifies the polarity with the least number of terms. The chip can also convert the coefficients of the positive polarity Reed-Muller expansion to a sum of products form. The design was completed using Mentor-Graphics VA.4 and the Mietec 0.7/am CMOS Library.
