Abstract :
Motivated by the problem of reengineering legacy digital circuits for which design information is missing or incomplete, this paper presents a new technique for representing the relationships among the internal components of a combinational circuit. This technique proves to be a powerful tool for redesign, capable of representing internal Boolean relationships in a fully or partially specified multiple-output combinational circuit with a single data structure
