Abstract

Generalized Boolean functions are shown to be useful for the design of programmable logic arrays (PLA's), and the complexity of three types of PLA's is obtained by the theory of multiple- valued decomposition. A two-level PLA consists of an AND array and an OR array, and they are cascaded to perform a two-level AND-OR circuit. A PLA with decoders consists of decoders, an AND array, and an OR array
