  • Patent number: 5526276
    Abstract: A logic circuit is implemented on a macrocell of a field programmable device using select sets of a logic function which represents a transformation of the one or more input signals of the logic circuit to the output signal of the logic circuit. Select sets of a logic function are determined (i) by grouping input signals which correspond to equal co-factors of the logic function or (ii) by grouping input signals such that one input signal of a group never appears in a term of the logic function in a greedy phase-minimized RMF canonical form without all other input signals of the group. The logic circuit is implemented on a macrocell which includes a circuit element which selects one of two or more input signals according to one or more select signals, each of which is driven by a respective logic gate. Examples of such circuit elements include multiplexers and random access memory (RAM).
