Logic Resynthesis of Majority-Based Circuits by Top-Down Decomposition

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Siang-Yun Lee

Logic resynthesis is the problem of finding a dependency function to re-express a given Boolean function in terms of a given set of divisor functions. In this paper, we study logic resynthesis of majority-based circuits, which is motivated by the increasin ...
