The Squeeze Algorithm for Pla Minimization (Logic, Computer-Aided, Circuit Design)
Turn-around time is becoming a crucial problem in integrated circuit design. Thus, Programmable Logic Arrays (PLA's) have become popular means with which to implement circuits. Their regular (i.e., matrix) structure allows for easy initial design and quick changes at later stages of design. PLA's, …
