Kv. Asari et C. Eswaran, AN OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR THE DESIGN OF MULTIPLE-VALUED PLAS, I.E.E.E. transactions on computers, 43(1), 1994, pp. 118-122
Am optimization technique for the design of two types of multiple-valu
ed PLA's is described in this correspondence. In type-I PLA, the multi
ple-valued function is realized directly, whereas in type-II PLA, outp
ut encoding is used to encode the binary output of the PLA. In both ty
pes, multiple function literal circuits are used for the purpose of mi
nimization. It is shown that the proposed technique leads to a conside
rably reduced size of PIA when compared to the earlier techniques.
