  • Abstract
    The author shows that, if the number of the states of the reduced flow table of an iterative logic array (ILA) is not a power of 2, then, the truth table verification of the ILA requires to test it exhaustively. Thus, in this case the theory presented by F.J.O. Dias (1976) and allowing the truth table verification of ILAs by means of C-tests, is not valid. Then the author extends this theory to the case where the ILA cells have some inputs in common (such ILAs are for instance ALUs, and the rows of multiply and divide arrays).<>
