TY - JOUR TI - Functional decomposition of combinational logic circuits with PKmin AU - Michalski, Tomasz AU - KokosiƄski, Zbigniew TI - Functional decomposition of combinational logic circuits with PKmin AB - In this paper, an application of the PKmin program for functional decomposition of multi- input multi-output combinational circuits is presented. The main focus is on balanced multi- level decomposition of logic circuits into minimal number of blocks, such as LUTs in FPGAs. Reduction of the input redundancy is available. Decomposition schemes include parallel, joint/ disjoint serial and a mixed one. The decomposition with PKmin can be automated by means of a heuristic algorithm or can be supervised by the designer. A distinctive feature of PKmin is the visualization of the design steps and the final layout of blocks and their interconnections. PKmin is compared in an example with the program DEMAIN.
