Abstract:
Select sets of a logic function corresponding to an output of a first logic circuit are determined. These select sets are used to obtain a second logic circuit, the logic function corresponding to the output of which is the same as the logic function corresponding to the output of the first logic circuit. A propagation delay through the second logic circuit may be smaller than a corresponding delay through the first logic circuit. Sometimes, such a smaller propagation delay through the second logic circuit results in the second logic circuit having a smaller critical path delay. The second logic circuit may therefore have a greater maximum operating speed than the first logic circuit.
