In my previous column on this topic, we discussed Using 8:1 Multiplexers to Implement Logical Functions.As part of this, we demonstrated how we can use an 8:1 multiplexer to implement any 3-input ...

One of the main applications of boolean algebra is to simplify complex boolean expressions and functions. This can help you reduce the number of logic gates and wires needed to implement a circuit ...

In these courses students study how to build a circuit using logic gates (for example, only 2-input NAND logic gates) or using some functional units of combinational type: decoders and multiplexers.

Our approach uses uninterpreted functions to abstract details of the design. We construct an unsatisfiable SMT formula from the given specification. Then, from just one proof of unsatisfiability, we ...
