Abstract :
Component-sharing is proposed to reduce the cost of four-valued one-variable CMOS circuits. An incremental algorithm that utilizes the newly defined basic blocks is used to compute a universal cost table. In particular, cost reduction from 6% to 29% is observed for 56 one-variable functions. The improvement is due to more effective use of circuit components. A current multiplexer for the synthesis of multivariable functions is proposed
