Abstract

The authors consider the problem of detecting the equivalence of two single-output Boolean functions, considering the permutation and complementation of their inputs, complementation of outputs, and associated don't-care sets, which is often referred to as the Boolean matching problem. Boolean matching is a verification problem, and it has important applications in logic synthesis problems such as technology-mapping. Several new approaches are presented for solving the Boolean matching problem. The features and efficiency of these algorithms are discussed. The author also compare with an existing Boolean matching algorithm by applying them to the technology-mapping of cell based designs.>
